Our residents Benjamin Genovese, MD, Craig Johnson, MD, Adam Opitz-Leewe, MD, Elaina Anglin, MD, Marianne Ligon, MD, PhD, and Miya Oliver, MD, received our 2024 Chair's Distinction in Anesthesiology Knowledge Awards. Both the award and the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) recognize and commend our CA-1 residents whose scores on the ABA BASIC Board Exam rank in the top 10% nationally among all test takers.
The ABA BASIC Exam, which anesthesiology residents take at the end of their CA-1 year, is the first test in a three-exam process to earn ABA board certification. The distinction of scoring among the top 10% of examinees is quite an honor and evidence of the diligence and hard work of our 2024 awardees. Congratulations, Drs. Genovese, Johnson, Opitz-Leewe, Anglin, Ligon, and Oliver!
