    Wow! Love this podcast
    As an anesthesiologist early in my career, I cannot thank Jed enough for creating this podcast. The episodes are so informative and I particularly enjoyed the master clinician episodes and your reflection episode. Really encouraging episodes!
  • Vanesthesia
    ACCRAC saved me in anesthesia school
    I’m in CRNA school, and I have been listening to this podcast for the past 2.5 years. I’m planning on re-listening most of the episodes for board prepping in the next few months. I love the core concepts breakdown and board question strategies. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & expertise.
  • CassandSpark
    Very Informative & engaging!
    I am an RN, I somehow came across this series and really enjoy it. I appreciate the opportunity to stay current with the ever changing practices of anesthesia. The host does a great job balancing technical topics/information while keeping a friendly banter with the featured guests. Overall, an enjoyable listen!
  • Dylan8480
    Excellent anesthesiology review
    This is the best anesthesiology review podcast I have yet to listen to. Stumbled upon it while searching for massive transfusion info and now I’m working my way through all the episodes, and loving it!
  • Deep learning value
    That was really great!
    Thanks for all the effort you put into this!
  • LoveLearningBK
    Episode 242 The Rescue - Amazing
    I am not a doctor but appreciate the complexities of medical decisions. I also love thrilling outdoor adventures, especially ones that have a good outcome. This episode reflects the power and possibility of the human mind and ingenuity. Absolutely loved it. Dr. Richard “Harry” Harris is a wonderful person to listen to - great Aussie voice, brilliant analytical mind, and down to earth too, a person with solid values to ground him - a pretty great combination. Dr. Jed Wolpaw is an excellent host who asks the perfect questions to drive the story forward, and who of course also has the anesthesia expertise to get clarification on the decisions Dr. Harris made during the rescue. I highly recommend this episode and look forward to exploring other episodes in the series.
  • that_fatboi
    Great commuter’s education
    I always love to listen whenever I’m driving to and from work. I especially like Dr Michael Essandoh and the dynamic trio. I’ve learnt a lot from this podcast. Thanks to you all.
  • kwhites1
    LOVE THIS PODCAST & KEYWORD EPISODES
    Unbelievably helpful to hear you two talk through answer choices!
  • ABoggs28
    Amazing!
    As a current SAA, listening to this podcast has been such a good way to supplement my studying and knowledge. ACCRAC provides relevant, condensed material that will show up on exams. Dr. Wolpaw is very knowledgeable and the guests on the show are always fabulous. Highly recommend to anesthesia providers!
  • Docbrad2014
    Excellent show
    I’ve learned so much listening to this podcast. Great for brushing up on Crit care topics.
  • Zacer38
    Thankful!
    Amazing channel! So much information and knowledge condensed in these 30-60 min shows. My favorites are the board review questions with Dr. Gillian Isaac. Please continue, you’re helping the next generation of anesthesia providers!
  • Tired of the division
    Stay out of politics
    This would be a great podcast if you would just stay out of politics and stick to anesthesia topics! If you want to do politics, start another podcast just for that. I don't need to be preached at.
  • xxfictionxx
    Great Podcast
    Amazing podcast, started listening as a CA1 and will definitely continue. Great supplementation to formal education we get in residency. Great for ITE and anesthesia boards.
  • Mandalaaa
    Great resource
    This is a great way to reinforce material learned in the classroom.Great for the SRNA.
  • Spartan0195
    SRNA
    Awesome podcast. Just started listening to it from the beginning and taking notes on a bunch of the episodes. Great supplement to my lecture and clinical material. Very informative and a TON of great, relevant information. Would highly recommend for any anesthesia provider.
  • JohnnyRN
    Wonderful for mid-career review
    I’ve been a fan of Dr. Wolpaws’ show for years. These concise and relevant reviews help me to retain all that knowledge that we spent so much time in school cramming in there.
  • esjod
    Incredible Resource
    Dr. Wolpaw’s background in education shines through in his podcast. As an SRNA, this podcast has been an incredible supplement to traditional resources. The guests bring engaging conversation and the topics are varied and fascinating.

    Being woke is becoming boring
    Every time I read un white señorito, sanctimoniously talking about white privilege and institutional racism, I wish them to be rosen in the land I was born: then they would know the true meaning of these words. Being “brown “ and belonging to a minority I never felt discriminated in this wonderful country, now my country too. My advice: stick to science y let the politicians do the politics: otherwise one day it may blow back.

    I have been listening to this podcast since episode 5, and donating since I graduated. Thank you so much for providing this resource that is free! The information I have gleaned has positively impacted my care for patients.
  • JG-CRNA
    Great Review!
    As a CRNA student finishing my doctorate in the coming months, these podcasts are great at stimulating buried theories and topics we have learned along the way as we study for our board exam!
  • mtnrclimbr
    Love it
    Love listening while on runs! Thanks for everything you do! Would love to see more oral board and board prep episodes. I think you could skip doing the “bad version” of an oral board now but still point out common mistakes and add pearls to giving great answers. Thanks again!
  • Voetbal42
    Jed rules!
    Great podcast to listen to while commuting as an adjunct to traditional Anesthesia board study methods.
  • __dhani
    Highly recommended
    Currently CRNA student. This podcast solidifies many topics for me and my class mates. Thanks Jed!
  • sannie 104
    My bible!
    Current CRNA student, listened to every episode. Explains difficult concepts extremely well. My classmates and I love Jed and his content! Highly recommend.
  • shrimpsteaky
    Great podcast for students!
    I am in CRNA school and regularly take Jed with my on my commutes to and from clinical. The info in this podcast is so relevant to what I am learning in class and helps solidify concepts. Jed has a great way of explaining difficult concepts!
  • Amyyyyy9877
    Love this!
    Dr. Wolpaw is awesome!
  • Are Ooow Bee
    Dad Jokes
    We need more Dad jokes from Dr. Berman. Dad joke of the day? I’ve heard that laughter increases the pain threshold so we can all benefit, even our patients if we subject them to it.
  • SylviaSRNA
    Excellent
    Love Gillian Isaac episodes! This podcast is perfect to reinforce what you are learning but also new topics in research!
  • beta6756
    Stick to anesthesia and not politics
    Episode 176 “I hope that other straight, white men like me born with incredible privilege that we did not earn....” Stick to anesthesia People want to get away from this garbage
  • LaurynHpr
    Inclusive and Informative
    Extremely helpful to listen to these succinct lectures alongside the didactic portion of my CRNA program. Thank you for the hard work and attention you give them!
  • JLH592
    Revolutionizing
    ACCRAC has revolutionized the way I think about and study anesthesia. Outstanding way to learn about evidence and practice based anesthesia and study for ITE/boards.
  • Hheymann
    Outstanding lectures
    Thank you so much for all work; this has become an integral part of my anesthesia training!
  • okcdoc
    Valued and important
    Wonderful service to the anesthesia community, there are key lectures I listen to before I take the ITE every year.
  • TorqueLwth
    Perfect for the Drive
    MS4 starting anesthesia residency soon. These podcasts are a truly productive resource and a great way to develop a better understanding of the field for clinical practice and the boards. Very thankful!

    COVID-19
    Fantastic, concise review in the management of the COVID-19 patient. Thank you so much!
  • jpbeer
    Hands down, favorite podcast
    I am, admittedly, a medical student going into anesthesiology, but my husband (who is not in medicine) listens to many of the less clinical episodes of his own accord and really enjoys them as well! Thank you!
  • Ferg08
    One of the best podcasts
    This podcast covers something for everyone interested in anesthesia or critical care. This podcast has become an essential part of my anesthesia training, with quality in every episode.
  • billymbarlow
    Med Student Thanks you
    Thank you Dr. Wolpaw for your podcast, being able to reach out to students, CRNAs, and Doctors has a larger impact than you might think. I see people in the break rooms having conversations on the latest podcast on how they see or change their practice. Your emphasis on patient care will lay in the subconscious of other practitioners just as your facts and tips emerge from their fount of knowledge as well. Keep up the good works and good spirits.
  • yataiwan
    Studying for ITE or BASIC?
    If so, make sure to check out the keyword episodes! The guests do a phenomenal job of prepping for this series b/c I can recall some variation of these topics on my exam (which makes sense since they are keyword-based). As of this post, there are 5 episodes: 122, 126, 132, 136, 139. Good luck to everyone!
  • kateroehrs
    Thank you!
    I’m in CRNA school and your podcasts are a huge part of my studies! Perfect for long car rides and dog walks! Thank you for what you do!
  • christa collins 29

    Great topics and information
    I’m a first year CRNA student. I’ve learned a lot from listening to your podcast between my commutes to school. You are great at clarifying abstract concepts in relation to clinical applications. Thank you!
  • Odlanier Labanino

  • 89839/0;
    Awesome anesthesia podcast
    I’m a second year SRNA and I’ve been listening to ACCRAC for a year or so. As someone who’s taking in an enormous amount of info about anesthesia, this podcast serves as a great resource for insight into a litany of aspects about the discipline. Keep up the great work, Dr. Wolpaw!
  • jordanmacneil
