Current regional anesthesia training is suboptimal. An improved model focusing on structured rotations, dedicated mentors, and core nerve block proficiency is needed to meet rising demand and ensure resident preparedness.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Growing demand for regional anesthesia due to patient satisfaction, cost-effectiveness, and improved recovery.
  • Current educational models for regional anesthesia are widely recognized as insufficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review existing recommendations and literature on regional anesthesia training.
  • Propose an enhanced training model for graduating anesthesia residents.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current regional anesthesia training recommendations.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to the demand for regional anesthesia.
  • Synthesis of findings to propose an improved educational framework.

Main Results:

  • Regional anesthesia is increasingly favored for its benefits.

  • Existing training programs often lack structured rotations, expert mentorship, and sufficient clinical volume.
  • Suboptimal training hinders resident preparedness for current practice demands.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adequate regional anesthesia training requires structured rotations, dedicated mentors, and sufficient clinical experience.
    • A proficiency in essential nerve blocks should be a standard for all graduating residents.
    • Re-evaluation of current training recommendations is crucial to meet future demands for regional anesthesia.
