The EDAIC Trainer is an initiative of the Trainees Committee endorsed by the Education and Training Committee and the Examinations Committee. This mobile app aims at training future EDAIC Part I candidates by providing validated questions that are structured in the same format and that cover the same topics as those of the EDAIC Part I examination. On top of questions, users will also have access to the correct answers and explanations on the answers.
App will be made available for download from 1 July 2025!
The Basic and Clinical Sciences Anaesthetic Course (BCSAC) is intended as one of the tools suitable for the preparation of the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care by improving the candidate’s understanding and knowledge of different areas of basic and clinical sciences.
The Viva Course is intended as one of the tools suitable for the preparation of the EDAIC Part II examination by making the candidate familiar with the examination system and technique. It comprises explanatory lectures and an EDAIC Part II mock exam workshop.
