The scope of regional anesthesia fellowship programs has not been analyzed but may provide insights that could improve fellowship training and standards.
Regional anesthesia fellowship directors across the world were asked to complete a comprehensive survey that detailed the range of educational and practical experience and attitudes as well as assessment procedures offered in their programs.
The survey response rate was 66% (45/68). Overall, the range of activities and the time and resources committed to education during fellowships is encouraging. A wide range of nerve block experience is reported with most programs also offering acute pain management, research, and teaching opportunities. Only two-thirds of fellowships provide formal feedback. This feedback is typically a formative assessment.
This is the first survey of regional anesthesia fellowship directors, and it illustrates the international scope and continuing expansion of education and training in the field. The results should be of interest to program directors seeking to benchmark and improve their educational programs and to faculty involved in further curriculum development.
区域麻醉 fellowship 项目的范围尚未得到分析,但可能提供有助于改善 fellowship 培训及标准的见解。
邀请世界各地的区域麻醉 fellowship 项目主任完成一项全面调查,该调查详细说明了其项目中提供的教育和实践经验范围、态度以及评估程序。
调查回复率为66%(45/68)。总体而言,fellowship 期间的活动范围以及投入教育的时间和资源令人鼓舞。报告显示有广泛的神经阻滞经验,大多数项目还提供急性疼痛管理、研究和教学机会。只有三分之二的 fellowship 提供正式反馈。这种反馈通常是形成性评估。
这是首次对区域麻醉 fellowship 项目主任进行的调查,它展示了该领域教育和培训的国际范围及持续扩展。这些结果对于寻求对标和改进其教育项目的项目主任以及参与进一步课程开发的教员来说应该是有意义的。
