This narrative review provides recommendations for developing and evaluating hand-off curricula in anesthesia residency programs to meet ACGME requirements.
Anesthesia residencies may adopt these recommendations for hand-off curricula; leaves open prospective validation of educational outcomes.
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires that residency programs teach residents about handoffs and ensure their competence in this communication skill. Development of hand-off curricula for anesthesia residency programs is hindered by the paucity of evidence regarding how to conduct, teach, and evaluate handoffs in the various settings where anesthesia practitioners work. This narrative review draws from literature in anesthesia and other disciplines to provide recommendations for anesthesia resident hand-off curriculum development and evaluation.
