Free Anesthesiology CME Courses

Anesthesiology is a dynamic and high-responsibility specialty that demands expertise across multiple domains—from airway management and regional anesthesia to critical care and postoperative recovery. As new pharmacologic agents, monitoring technologies, and perioperative strategies emerge, anesthesiology clinicians must remain at the forefront of innovation to ensure patient safety and optimize outcomes. FreeCME offers a wide array of free anesthesiology CME courses to help physicians, nurse anesthetists, and perioperative clinicians expand their knowledge and fulfill their continuing education needs—completely free of charge.

Each course is developed in partnership with accredited continuing medical education providers, guaranteeing content that reflects current evidence, expert consensus, and the latest clinical guidelines. These CME activities are designed for real-world relevance, whether you're practicing in a busy academic hospital, an ambulatory surgical center, or a rural operating suite. There are no subscription fees, hidden charges, or paywalls—just unrestricted access to high-quality education for those dedicated to safe and effective anesthetic care.

All courses are available online and on demand, making them easy to access between cases or on your schedule. After completing the course content and a brief assessment, clinicians can instantly download CME or CE certificates to satisfy board certification, hospital credentialing, or state licensure requirements.

The FreeCME anesthesiology curriculum spans a diverse range of critical topics, including:

• Airway management and ventilation strategies, including updates in video laryngoscopy and high-risk intubations

• Regional and neuraxial anesthesia techniques, such as peripheral nerve blocks and spinal/epidural anesthesia

• Perioperative medicine, including preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative recovery

• Pain management, from multimodal analgesia to chronic opioid therapy and non-opioid alternatives

• Anesthesia for special populations, including pediatrics, geriatrics, and obstetric patients

• Anesthesia-related emergencies, such as malignant hyperthermia, local anesthetic toxicity, and perioperative cardiac arrest

• Anesthesia and sedation in non-operating room environments (NORA), such as GI suites and interventional radiology

These CME activities are ideal for anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), anesthesia assistants, residents and fellows in anesthesiology, and perioperative nurses or advanced practice providers involved in anesthetic care. Whether you are focused on regional blocks, cardiovascular anesthesiology, neuroanesthesia, or ambulatory surgery, our platform delivers focused, clinically valuable education for your specific area of practice.
