Oral Exams
Within our department we consider oral exam preparation as a marathon, over that of a dash at the end. In addition to our weekly Tues am rounds we provide bi-annual Oral exams where you sit through 4 mock orals and have staff assess your knowledge. We've also just introduced an annual bell ringer oral exam prep where senior residents are given the opportunity to sit a full 8 questions which most closely simulates what you'd experience on the day of the exam.

Anesthesia Knowledge Test (AKT)
Knowledge is assessed on a formal basis through the core program exams, anesthesia knowledge test (AKT), and oral examinations. No single assessment item is looked at in isolation but we consider the following scores as markers for individualized coaching. AKT-1 (<20th percentile), AKT-6 (<40th percentile), AKT-24 (<30th percentile). If any resident failes to achieve the cut-off score as outlined above he/she is asked to re-write the examination in 3 months time to an is offered individualized coaching to help them succeed. If they fail to demonstrate an appropriate improvement in their exam scores then the Resident Program and Competence Committees will review the candidate in detail.
To help in preparation for your AKT the following resources are available free of charge through our institution: https://accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/qa.aspx
Pulse360
The Pulse360 survey helps residents understand their strengths and achievements as well as improvement opportunities by giving them perceptual feedback on their technical and teamwork skills in relation to the CanMEDS physician competencies. Each resident or fellow can select peers, allied health staff, and faculty and invite them to provide feedback on the resident’s technical and non-technical teamwork and communication styles
