A2 - Hadzic, Admir Y1 - 2007 N1 - T2 - NYSORA Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management AB - Fellowship training is essential to the advancement of any subspecialty. Graduates of fellowship programs are likely to become the future custodians of clinical, educational, administrative, and research efforts in that specialty. The role of basic residency training in any medical specialty is to obtain a degree of comfort and proficiency in that particular field. Proficiency, defined as the “advancement in knowledge” or skill in a field of medicine,1 should be the minimum goal of any postgraduate training program. Indeed, the Program Requirements for Residency Education in Anesthesiology states that residency programs must “promote the acquisition of the knowledge, skills, clinical judgment, and attitudes essential to the practice of anesthesiology”.2 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=3511038 ER -
