'The book could be of great value to less-experienced instructors in their journey toward becoming great teachers. Throughout the book, the experience of authors as educators can be felt in their wise recommendations even in the absence of strong scientific evidence to support them. For the more experienced, the book could be a source of updates on new teaching techniques in the field of graduate anesthesiology education.'
