Most of the action during your second clinical anesthesia year takes place in the various anesthesia subspecialties. The CA-2 rotations include the following:
Cardiothoracic Anesthesia
Neuroanesthesia
Pediatric Anesthesia
Obstetric Anesthesia
Regional Anesthesia
Pain Service
Critical Care Unit
Jesse Brown VA Medical Center
UIC Eye and Ear Infirmary
Post-Anesthesia Care Unit
Liver Transplant Anesthesia
With exposure to the various subspecialties, you will begin to acquire the knowledge and techniques vital to your training as a consultant anesthesiologist. After your residency, when practicing anesthesiology in the "real world," you will frequently draw from this knowledge base. This also is the time to start focusing on how you will spend your CA-3 year.
