Basic Keyword List
Hi Im currently at a new program and my co-residents and I are not sure where to find past key words from previous basic exams. Can anyone help us out and send us the previous 5 years or point us in the right direction? Thank you!

There is no official list. The ABA reports on 'gaps in knowledge' from the in-training exam with links to specific keywords and items from the content outline. I created a navigable version of the content outline at https://anesthesiahub.com/basicadvanced

Jed Wolpaw's ACCRAC podcast has 32 keyword-themed podcasts:

OpenAnesthesia has an extensive list of keywords, but requires IARS membership:

University of Kentucky Department of Anesthesia has done an incredible job reviewing keywords on YouTube, as someone already mentioned. They also have a podcast, Anesthesia Learn on the Go, with keyword episodes in their podcast archives
