Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is provided by all anesthesiology residency programs in Canada. The purpose of this study was to characterize SBME in Canadian anesthesiology residency training programs. ⋯ Large variability exists in the delivery of SBME in Canadian anesthesiology residency simulation programs, in part because of differences in financial/human resources and educational content. Future studies should explore whether training and patient outcomes differ between SBME programs and, if so, whether additional standardization is warranted.

The aim of this project was to collect data on the delivery of anesthesia in Canada. Specifically, our goal was to increase knowledge by identifying provider demographics and different models of anesthesia delivery, and to explore relationships among specialist anesthesiologists (SAs) and family practice anesthetists (FPAs) with a focus on mentoring. ⋯ This survey shows perceived capacity to expand surgical services in rural areas, a precedent for a mixed SA-FPA model of anesthesia delivery at the same site, and desire for anesthesia providers to engage in mentoring. Such options should be considered to strengthen the physician-led anesthesiology profession in Canada.
