Download – Education in Anaesthesia – Part 1

When planning an educational program it is important to first define the aims. What do you want the students to learn? In anaesthesia the broad aim is to train people so that they have adequate, appropriate knowledge and skills to give anaesthesia safely to their patients and to enable them to keep the patient alive and unharmed during surgery. Perioperative care extends this to teach pre- and postoperative care of the patient. This requires good knowledge of medical and surgical principles, including intensive care and pain management.
