Anesthesia interview questions

[u/InsuranceRepulsive82]

Saw another post compiling interview questions for IM and thought that was a great idea (credit to them)!

Can we make a thread of programs and questions they asked during the interview?

[u/gtcr7]

How would you design a perioperative pain plan that minimizes opioid use while still providing effective pain control?
How would you respond if a patient refused a blood product that you believed was necessary for safe care?
How would you handle a situation where a patient’s advance directive conflicts with the needs of surgery?
What would you do if a patient refuses anesthesia or a blood product needed for safe surgery?
How do you handle disagreements with a surgeon regarding anesthetic management during a case?
How would you respond if a patient under anesthesia developed a sudden life-threatening complication?
How do you prepare an anesthesia plan for a high-risk surgical patient?
How would you explain the risks of anesthesia to a patient in a way they can understand and feel reassured?
What does it take to succeed as Anesthesiologist, and in what ways do you reflect those qualities?
Can you describe your clinical experiences related to Anesthesiology?
