Core Clinical Competencies in Anesthesiology: A Case-based Approach (Cambridge Medicine) - 2010 Edition

The core clinical competencies in anesthesiology can be pretty blurry - just how do they apply to real life? This book answers this question, incorporating the core clinical competencies into an engaging format that anesthesiologists like - case studies. So, far from being a "dry and dusty volume of forgotten lore," this book actually makes learning the competencies fun! Written in the same engaging style as a number of other anesthesia books (specifically, the Board Stiff opus) by leading anesthesiologists from leading medical centers across the United States, this book will bring the core clinical competencies to life for residents, attendings, and medical students alike.


There's nothing like an interesting case to make a point. This book does just that, using interesting cases to make points about not only medical care but all the things that surround medical care - professionalism with colleagues, communicating with patients, and so on. And best of all, the book is fun and funny!
