Over the past 20 years, the importance of training anesthesiologists in regional anesthesia has become recognized worldwide, but the actual accomplishment of quality training remains a challenge for residents and fellows, as well as practicing anesthesiologists. Quality training in regional anesthesia is necessary to promote not only clinical competence, but also practitioner confidence in their ability to perform the skill proficiently and safely. Surveys of residency programs demonstrate narrowing variability in training, and recent consensus-based regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine fellowship guidelines may further improve training at all levels. Academic programs have employed conventional and unconventional methods to complement the exposure to regional anesthesia opportunities that residents and fellows receive in the operating room, obstetric suite, and pain clinic. In this chapter, such concepts will be discussed as well as future goals for improving regional anesthesia training for all anesthesiologists.
