Abstract:
This article discusses modernizing the education of pediatric anesthesiologists in the United States. First, the current education requirements to become an American Board of Anesthesiology certified pediatric anesthesiologist are detailed and then, through a historical lens, the development of the subspecialty is examined. Gaps and challenges in the current training system are identified and interventions for improvement discussed. Additionally, suggestions are made and questions posed on how to move from a time-based model towards a competency-based curriculum.
