“…These results demonstrate the educational value preclinical medical students perceive of a mandatory anesthesia clerkship. 16 Previous studies reveal that the duration of an anesthesia clerkship, in the United States, typically ranges from 1 week (19%), 2 weeks (44%), or 4 weeks (47%); whereas this study found that millennial medical students prefer the duration to be 1 week 3 (4%) of 74, 2 weeks 23 (31%), 3 weeks 33 (45%), and 4 weeks 14 (19%). 7 These results reveal that preclinical students prefer a 2-to 3-week clerkship relative to clinical students, who prefer a 1-or 4-week clerkship.…”

“…Moreover, anesthesiologists participate in a variety of procedural skills that all physicians would benefit from receiving practice in, such as intubation. 16 Medical students have found benefit from even a single week of immersion into anesthesiology, which may help institutions with limited scheduling for additional clerkships beyond classical requirements. 17 We note some limitations to our study.…”

Purpose First- and second-year medical students typically have limited exposure to the field of anesthesiology, yet recent match data shows growing interest in the specialty. Early, structured exposure to anesthesiology in the form of a preclinical elective may allow medical students to make more informed decisions on their specialty of choice. Methods The anesthesiology preclinical elective, BIOL 6704: “Anesthesia: Much More than Putting you to Sleep”, is a one-credit course taught at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. A survey consisting of fifteen questions assessing changes in attitudes, perceptions, and interest in anesthesiology was distributed to first- and second-year medical students before and after course participation. The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test for paired samples. Results The biggest impact of the preclinical elective was observed in the students’ subjective understanding of key aspects of the practice of anesthesiology. Statistically significant improvement was seen in the understanding of airway management, anesthetic pharmacology, basics of ultrasound, vascular access, anesthesiology subspecialties, and an understanding of anesthesiology residency. Overall, results were limited by our small sample size. Conclusion Our elective allows medical students to explore anesthesiology early in their medical school career. After taking this course, students noted more familiarity with various topics in anesthesiology. Peer institutions lacking a similar course may consider using our experience to increase interest about the specialty of anesthesiology for future students.

“…Relative to trainees in other specialties, anesthesiology residents more frequently work one-on-one with attendings in the operating room setting, and potentially less often as members of resident teams with formal hierarchies and clinical oversight responsibilities; the latter arrangements may provide more obvious opportunities-and expectations-for interresident teaching. Anesthesiology is also not a required clerkship at many medical schools, 53 potentially decreasing resident opportunity for medical student teaching. Furthermore, residents' knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding teaching are shown to vary widely across clinical fields and training programs.…”

The importance of resident physicians as clinical educators is widely acknowledged in many clinical specialties and by national accreditation organizations for medical education. Within anesthesiology training programs, there is growing attention to the role of trainees as clinical educators. This narrative review describes the theoretical and demonstrated benefits of clinical teaching by residents in anesthesiology and other medical fields, summarizes current efforts to support and promote residents as educators, and suggests ways in which anesthesiology training programs can further assess and develop the role of residents as clinical educators.
