Curriculum Development
I contributed to developing a web-based guide aimed at supporting virtual education for anesthesiology residents rotating in cardiothoracic anesthesiology. Leveraging Anesthesia Tool Box, I gathered existing lecture material and developed new online quizzes to supplement reduced case volumes during COVID-19. This initiative enabled our residents to continue receiving valuable educational content throughout the rotation, ultimately helping to maintain our program's board exam pass rate.
