The stanford anesthesia faculty teaching scholars program: summary of faculty development, projects, and outcomes
Journal of Graduate Medical Education
|January 10, 2014
Summary
The Stanford Anesthesia Teaching Scholars Program enhances faculty development and residency education. This program successfully produced educational innovations, with many projects integrated into the curriculum.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Faculty Development
- Anesthesiology
Background:
- The Stanford Anesthesia Teaching Scholars Program was established in 2007.
- Its aim is to advance faculty pedagogical training and enhance residency education.
Purpose of the Study:
- Describe the program's intervention and improvements based on feedback.
- Summarize faculty characteristics and project details.
- Report on program outcomes.
Main Methods:
- The program supports faculty through educational meetings, seminars, and resident education projects.
- Structured interviews were conducted with 19 graduates using a questionnaire.
Main Results:
- Most participants were instructors/assistant professors, and 84% attended off-site meetings.
- Projects focused on curriculum development (53%), teaching (26%), and administration (11%).
- 68% of projects were completed, with 63% integrated into residency; 16% received education grants.
Conclusions:
- This is the first description of such a faculty development program in anesthesiology.
- The program is well-received and has generated educational products integrated into the curriculum.
- The model is replicable in other anesthesiology departments with adequate funding.

01:28Preclinical Development: Overview
4.8K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

01:11Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia
2.0K
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

1.0K
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

1.0K
Intravenous anesthetics are drugs administered parenterally to induce anesthesia or sedation. Propofol is a widely used agent formulated as a 1% emulsion in soybean oil, glycerol, and egg phosphatide. It induces rapid anesthesia primarily due to its rapid distribution from the bloodstream to target tissues and is metabolized in the liver. However, it can cause significant pain on injection and hypertriglyceridemia. Fospropofol, a water-based prodrug of propofol, lacks these adverse effects.

01:24General Anesthesia: Overview
1.1K
Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...
