Exploration and Practice of the Collaborative Program in Postdoctoral Trainees of Clinical Anesthesiology

  Objective  To explore the advantage and feasibility of the program of training anesthesiologists that is based on the clinical postdoctoral program of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) with collaboration between general hospitals and specialized hospitals.

  Methods  We analyzed the operational volume of the operation platform in PUMCH and the clinical characteristics of the specialized hospitals in Beijing, and built a collaborative standardized training base that combines general hospitals with specialized hospitals. Before and after the implementation of the collaborative training program, the number of training cases of each sub-specialty and the trainees' scores of the assessment of clinical abilities were compared.

  Results  After implementation of the collaborative standardized training program, the number of training cases of pediatric anesthesia, obstetrics anesthesia, and cardiovascular surgery anesthesia were significantly increased (all P < 0.01) with the total number of clinical anesthetic cases unchanged. Meanwhile, the scores of medical knowledge and skills, communication and collaboration, and patient care of the trainees were significantly improved (all P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  The collaborative standardized training program can optimize the disease resources and improve the core competency of trainees, and is feasible for standardized postdoctoral training of clinical anesthesiology.
