On behalf of my good friend and Co-Course Director Charlie Cote, I would like to welcome and congratulate you on choosing The Pass Machine lecture course as the venue to study for the examination in pediatric anesthesia or to brush up on pediatric anesthesia. We recruited five specialist pediatric anesthesiologists to round out our team, and the topics we cover were selected from the ABA pediatric anesthesia board topics that you will be tested on. By signing up for this course you have availed yourself of the guarantee by Dr. Krasuski, Founder of the American Physician Institute, who designed this program. You should feel confident you signed up for the right course because the board’s pass rate for the subspecialty pediatric anesthesiology exam was 79% while those who took this course in preparation for the exam had a pass rate of 98%. And with that, I welcome you once again to the course and wish you great success.

On behalf of Jerry Lerman, my course co-chair, and myself, we welcome you to this review course we’ve put together for you. We have a variety of excellent speakers, and we have tried to encompass all the topics that are required for your passing of the pediatric anesthesia board examination. We also welcome you to the pediatric anesthesia community, we are all part of one large family.
