Congratulations to third-year resident Allyson Tragesser, M.D., for her outstanding performance in June’s American Board of Anesthesiology BASIC Exam!
Dr. Tragesser, who was the recipient of the 2022 J.S. Gravenstein Award, scored in the top 10% of all residents who took the exam nationwide. This excellent result is a testament to her hard work and dedication.
The BASIC Exam, which requires anesthesiology residents to demonstrate a firm understanding of foundational anesthesiology knowledge, is taken at the end of the first clinical year and is an important step in their journey towards becoming anesthesiologists. Future examinations required for certification are the ADVANCED and APPLIED Exams, also administered by the American Board of Anesthesiology.
