Assessing the Impact of a Regional Anesthesia Workshop on Anesthesiology Residents' Perceived Comfort in Performing Peripheral Nerve Blocks.
Different methods of regional anesthesia education have been described in the literature, but none have proven to be superior. The objective of this study was to evaluate the educational value as perceived by the anesthesia resident of a regional anesthesia workshop. ⋯ Based on self-reported trainee comfort level, the workshop was an effective teaching tool. Future workshops might be most effective when targeted at learners with less baseline regional anesthesia experience. Peripheral nerve block workshops can provide an important adjunct in the regional anesthesia ed ucation of resident anesthesiologists.

Anesthesia machine checkout and room setup: a randomized, single-blind, comparison of two teaching modalities.
Novel methods for teaching are needed to enhance the efficiency of academic anesthesia departments as well as provide approaches to learning that are aligned with current trends and advances in technology. ⋯ Higher pre-test to post-test improvements were observed among students in the video-based teaching group, however students rated traditional, live lectures higher than newer video-based teaching.
