AB Regional  anesthesia  enhances  patient  satisfaction  and  favorable  outcomes,  especially  in  obstetrics  and  acute  pain  management.  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.
