The EDRA examination consists of two questions for each candidate administered by a team of two examiners. For the first question, the candidate will perform a peripheral nerve block on a live model and be evaluated on their technique, use of nerve location methods, drug selection and knowledge of complications. The second question involves selecting the appropriate regional anesthesia procedure for various surgical cases and demonstrating understanding of contraindications, management of failed blocks, and catheter techniques and care. Candidates are graded as pass or fail.
