Simulation beyond Residency: A Call to Action for Anesthesiology Leaders and Perioperative Teams.

Simulation-based training is a proven modality for developing critical technical and nontechnical skills in anesthesiology. While simulation-based training has been linked to improved patient outcomes, team performance, and reduced malpractice risk, postresidency simulation remains underutilized. Drawing on parallels from other high-stakes professions and a faculty-focused simulation program developed by the authors, they propose a model for embedding simulation-based training into clinical practice using real-world quality data, subspecialty alignment, and interprofessional collaboration. When implemented, simulation-based training should become part of continuing professional development for attending anesthesiologists, supported by departmental leadership and enhanced by interprofessional collaboration.
