Anaesthetists as Educators (AaE): An Introduction 2025

Anaesthetists as Educators (AaE): An Introduction is organized by The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) and will be held on Jun 10, 2025 at Royal College of Anaesthetists, London, England, United Kingdom.

Description:
Anaesthetists as Educators: an introduction provides an introduction to post graduate medical education in anaesthesia. The course is suitable for trainees, SAS doctors and consultants who have had no previous training in teaching or medical education.

This course provides the ground work for the Anaesthetists as Educators: Teaching and Training in the Workplace course, which is a natural follow on.

The course provides:

• An overview of the educational landscape as it is today: regulatory bodies and their interrelationships, governance of medical education, where anaesthetists delivering training fit in.
• An introduction to how adults learn.
• How to teach: in theatre and by giving lectures.
• An introduction to clinical and educational supervision from the trainees' point of view, including appraisal.
• Overview of assessment in anaesthesia, including workplace-based assessment and where it fits in.
• Principles of recognition and dealing with the trainee with problems.
• A brief introduction to Anaesthetists non-technical skills (ANTS)
• A brief introduction to Simulation Unplugged (Sim)

The RCoA Anaesthetists as Educators Programme can support trainers in meeting the requirements for GMC Recognition and Approval of Trainers. The course content is mapped to the GMC’s seven domains and participation in this course will provide supporting evidence towards the GMC approval process for named educational supervisors and named clinical supervisors.
