A Survey of USA Anesthesiology Residents Regarding Their Perceptions of, and Barriers to, Fellowship Training in Obstetric Anesthesia

Abstract

(Int J Obstet Anesth. 2021;46:103159) There is a clear need for fellowship-trained obstetric anesthesiologists, who may improve maternal outcomes. However, far fewer residents are participating in obstetric fellowships than is needed to staff labor and delivery units in the United States. A recent survey aimed to understand reasons why residents lack interest in pursuing obstetric anesthesia fellowship training.
