Your performance will not be graded. THIS IS NOT A TEST! 2. Experiential learning: You will be in the “hot seat” as the primary anesthesiologist for at least one scenario 3. Small course size: 4-6 participants with 2-3 instructors per course Enrolled participants will experience or observe various clinical scenarios carefully selected to represent common and infrequent critical events in anesthesia practice.
