To determine the extent to which history of anesthesia-related topics are included in the didactic curriculum of United States residency programs in anesthesiology.
Survey instrument.
University-affiliated hospital.
In addition to information related to the identity of the respondent and institution, we inquired about the presence of faculty members with an interest in the history of anesthesia (HOA), the inclusion of HOA-related lectures in the didactic curriculum, whether the program would consider inviting an outside lecturer for a session devoted to HOA, the inclusion of HOA-related tours, and whether the program would allow residents an elective rotation of one to three months devoted to a research project related to HOA.
On the basis of responses from 46 of 132 residency programs (35%), 54% of programs had at least one faculty member with an interest in HOA, and 45% of programs included lectures related to HOA in their didactic curriculum. An encouraging finding was that 83% of programs (without such didactic sessions) were willing to invite visiting professors to deliver lectures on HOA. The vast majority (91%) did not conduct tours related to HOA, while 74% indicated a willingness to allow residents interested in HOA to devote one to three months to undertake such projects.
The low rate of interest in HOA among faculty members, and the lower rate of inclusion of lectures related to HOA during residency training, suggests that substantial barriers exist within the academic community towards a wider acceptance of the importance of HOA. Two positive indicators were the willingness to invite outside speakers and the receptivity to allowing residents to devote one to three months to projects related to HOA.
确定美国麻醉学住院医师培训计划的教学课程中包含多少与麻醉相关历史主题的内容。
调查工具。
大学附属医院。
除了与受访者和机构身份相关的信息外，我们还询问了是否有对麻醉史（HOA）感兴趣的教员，HOA 相关讲座是否包含在教学课程中，计划是否会考虑邀请外部讲师来专门讲授 HOA，是否包含 HOA 相关参观，以及计划是否允许住院医师进行为期一到三个月的与 HOA 相关的研究项目轮转。
根据 132 个住院医师培训计划中的 46 个（35%）的回复，54%的计划至少有一名对 HOA 感兴趣的教员，并且 45%的计划在其教学课程中包含 HOA 相关讲座。一个令人鼓舞的发现是，83%的计划（没有这样的教学课程）愿意邀请客座教授来讲授 HOA 课程。绝大多数（91%）没有进行与 HOA 相关的参观，而 74%表示愿意允许对 HOA 感兴趣的住院医师花一到三个月时间从事此类项目。
教员对 HOA 的兴趣较低，以及在住院医师培训期间包含与 HOA 相关的讲座的比率较低，这表明在学术界中存在着对 HOA 的重要性的广泛接受存在实质性障碍。两个积极的指标是愿意邀请外部演讲者和接受允许住院医师从事一到三个月与 HOA 相关项目的意愿。
