“…Student survey A survey instrument to quantify students' experience with the clinical attachment was developed from previously published surveys 6,7 , adapted to the specific content of the anaesthesia attachment. As these previous surveys were much older and not entirely suited to our context, significant adaptation was required and the survey instrument was piloted on three medical students from the preceding year's cohort who provided feedback on content and format (Online Appendix 1: Student survey).…”

Anaesthesia encompasses a broad range of knowledge and skills of relevance to graduating doctors. For the majority of new doctors, an undergraduate clinical rotation is their only exposure to anaesthesia practice. However, the content and approach to undergraduate anaesthesia education varies between institutions. We explored our students' views and experiences, and teaching approaches and expectations of consultant anaesthetists during a clinical attachment in anaesthesia. Our mixedmethod design included student and staff surveys, logbook analysis and student focus groups. Logbook analysis of all 202 students showed mean numbers of attempts for bag-mask ventilation, laryngeal mask insertion, tracheal intubation and IV cannulation were 6.8, 3.9, 3.3 and 4.5, respectively. Focus group responses (11 students, three groups) suggested a mismatch between students' expectations of performing clinical skills and the available opportunities, particularly for IV cannulation. Students often felt reluctant to ask anaesthetists to teach them, and appreciated clinician-led engagement in all aspects of learning patient management. Among the 78 anaesthetists (29.3%) responding to the survey, the five tasks most frequently identified as suitable for teaching to students all related to airway management. Our study found much unanticipated variability in student exposure, teaching practice and attitudes to teaching various skills or procedures between anaesthetists, and student opinion of their clinical attachment. The findings resulted in a review of many aspects of the attachment. It is likely that other institutions will have similar variability and we recommend they undertake similar exercises to optimise teaching and learning opportunities for undergraduate anaesthesia.

SummaryThe paper describes the rationale and implementation of anaesthetics teaching in the new 2i-year clinical medical course at Cambridge University. A programme designed to monitor and evaluate the teaching was established, and the results are reported.Signifcant improvements in students' knowiedge of anaesthetics and their experiences of practical procedures were noted, as compared to a control group. It is concluded that the course achieves the dual aims of providing an introduction to the scope and vocabulary of modern anaesthesia and giving students the opportunity to practise a variety of specifed practical skills.
