About Anespedia
Anespedia is a free educational resource for anesthesia trainees, residents, and clinicians preparing for oral boards or seeking quick reference tools.
Trainees! Use this to feel semi-productive during long cases, wind down after marathon days, or casually engage your attendings with some intra-op teaching! Start here or poke around in the menus.
The mission is to make high-quality, structured study content easily accessible and beautifully simple to use.
“Most of us don't really learn to think like anesthesiologists until we're attendings, and even then it's mostly pattern recognition accumulated over years. But the framework — how to evaluate a patient through an anesthetic lens, weigh whether surgery should proceed, anticipate what could go wrong — none of that requires residency to start learning. I built the curriculum I wish someone had handed me on intern year. Not a board review, but a way of thinking about every patient you manage that compounds from day one.” — Brian Park
What You’ll Find
- Journal Club (Audio) – Short audio discussions of high-impact perioperative and anesthesia trials, plus boards prep episodes on exam strategy and CA-1 onboarding. Each episode links its full source list.
- Oral Board Stems – Structured cases with pre/intra/post-op stages to mimic the ABA exam format.
- Topics Explorer – A searchable, filterable breakdown of topics and questions across all stems. Use this to focus your studying by stage, topic, or content overlap. Growing number of extra questions you can find to help with clinical mastery!
- ASRA Guidelines – Searchable timing tables for timing neuraxial procedures in patients receiving anti-thrombotics or thrombolytics.
- TEE Quiz – Visual quiz based on the 11 ABA-recommended TEE views for exam prep and clinical mastery.
Who Made This?
Brian Park, former Tech Lead for ACCRAC. Board certified anesthesiologist, fellowship trained in regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine. My research sits at the intersection of perioperative outcomes and clinical AI, supported by a T32 postdoctoral fellowship, a K12 career development award, an NIH AI in health fellowship, and a seed grant in AI for medical education. Anespedia started as a passion project to build the study resource I wish I’d had: structured, free, and actually fun to use. I select every source, write the frameworks, and edit every episode.
