Develop an outline that works for you

Candidates often develop their own way to organize a Presented Stem before questioning begins. This worksheet provides a repeatable starting structure while leaving room for you to adapt it to the way you think and speak.

How to use it

  • Identify the important patient and procedural factors.
  • Work across preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management.
  • Build an anesthetic plan with alternatives, physiologic goals, and case-specific actions to avoid.

Use the sheet with practice stems until the structure feels natural enough to reproduce in your own notes.
