A modification in the training requirements in anesthesiology: Requirements for the third clinical anesthesia year
In order to continue to enhance the educational quality of residency training in anesthesiology and ultimately to improve patient care, the American Board of Anesthesiology has adopted a modification in the curriculum for the 4-year Continuum of Education in Anesthesiology to provide for a CA-3 year replacing the Specialized Year and the Alternate Pathways. This CA-3 year will be required for residents beginning the CA-1 year of training on or after May 1, 1986. There will be a 2-year transition period beginning May 1, 1984, to facilitate its implementation.
