In order to become eligible for certification by American Board of Anesthesiology, residents must satisfactorily complete a clinical base year (PGY-1) plus the CA-1, CA-2 and CA-3 (PGY 2-4) years. You may apply through the NRMP for either a categorical or an advanced position. The three year clinical anesthesia curriculum consists of experiences in basic anesthesia, subspecialty anesthesia and advanced anesthesia training.
