Abstract

Senior anesthesiology residents (Clinical Anesthesia-3) at The George Washington University were eligible to participate in a 1-month Ambulatory Anesthesiology-Practice Management Rotation focusing on the acquisition of nontechnical skills and knowledge applicable to becoming an effective clinical leader. The rotation included 1-week service as operating room manager, completion of an online module, assigned readings with follow-up discussions, and completion of a billing and reimbursement exercise. The interventions, in aggregate, were measured with a preknowledge and a postknowledge test. Twelve residents out of 14 (86%) completed the preknowledge and postknowledge tests. Residents scored significantly higher on the postcourse exam (61.49%, SD 18.65%) than the pretest (42.7%, SD 12.7%) (P < .004). A curriculum designed to develop the practice management skills required of a physician anesthesiologist is feasible and effective at improving knowledge within a 1-month, senior resident rotation.
