4th Year Medical Student "Virtual Pre-op Call" Pilot for Anesthesiology Applicants
The COVID19 pandemic has limited the opportunities for senior medical students to gain exposure to the field of anesthesiology through away rotations or interviews. By creating this "Virtual Pre-Op Call," opportunity, we hope to offer an interactive educational experience for interested medical students as well as provide an opportunity to learn more about institutional culture through an open Q&A with a program's trainees and faculty.

Our proposed Learning Objectives are:

1. Facilitate active group collaboration among fourth year medical students and teaching faculty, fellows, or residents, in working through pre-operative cases.
 
2. Discuss important components of pre-operative evaluation and clinical considerations contributing to anesthetic and perioperative plan.
 
3. Explore anesthetic management for a variety of case types including: cardiac, transplant, pediatric, neurological, and general surgery.
 
4. Establish a better understanding of individual institution/program teaching methodology and overall culture.

Before rolling this out on a larger scale, we hope to run a few focus groups and pilots for those interested in participating/contributing. The time commitment would be a couple of hours/week on Zoom (generally in the evenings) while testing scenarios and adjusting the experience based on your feedback. Please sign up below if you're a 4th year medical student applying to anesthesiology and interested in being part of the pilot!

A couple additional notes:
- At this point, this is a PILOT with a single physician running the program. The overarching goal will be to expand the program beyond one person as it is built.
- Joining in for calls and focus groups for the pilot program is 100% OPTIONAL. The goal is to make this as useful of a resource for MS4s applying to anesthesiology in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic.
