Anaesthesia - TeachingAnaesthesia as a Career (pdf 6.43MB) Undergraduate Teaching part of the MBchB CurriculumMost undergraduate teaching is combined into Critical Care Attachments. Key elements are:
Fourth Year Medical StudentsThe anaesthetic component includes an introduction and a half day of CPR and ICU tutorial. Fifth Year Medical StudentsOne week Critical Care Attachment. The Anaesthesia component includes two mornings in theatre observing the various tasks of the Anaesthetist followed by a debriefing. An afternoon is spent revising basic CPR. Sixth Year Medical StudentsThe primary focus of undergraduate teaching occurs in the Trainee Intern year, with a four week block attachment to Anaesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency. The emphasis in the anaesthesia component is on practical skills such as airway management, and on perioperative management with most time devoted to hands on experience. Problem based learning sessions discuss aspects of perioperative managment with tutorials covering basic and advanced cardiac life support. Assessment is based on satisfactory performance in the various tutorials, completion of the ACLS assessment and attendance in theatre and ICU. Since 1999 the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists have offered a prize. This is awarded on the basis of performance in the CPR assessment, anaesthesia PBL tutorials and the ICU "viva" at the end of the run. Postgraduate Teaching - Medical GraduatesAlthough there is no formal University involvement in postgraduate teaching, Christchurch has 16 Anaesthetic Registrars at different levels of training and members of the University Department are actively involved in their teaching. In addition the Department runs an annual revision course for the candidates for the Primary Examination of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists.
