In the past decade, liver transplant anesthesia has become more complex with a sicker patient population and evolving evidence-based practices. Transplant training is currently not required for accreditation or certification in anesthesiology, and not all anesthesia residency programs are associated with transplant centers. Yet there is evidence that patient outcome is affected by the experience of the anesthesiologist with liver transplants as part of a multidisciplinary care team. Requests for a formal review of the inequities in training opportunities and requirements led the Society for the Advancement for Transplant Anesthesia (SATA) to begin the task of developing post-graduate fellowship training recommendations. In this article, members of the SATA Working Group on Transplant Anesthesia Education present their reasoning for specialized education and conclusions about which pathways can better prepare trainees to care for complex transplant patients.","url":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&db=mdl&AN=29029588&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513","isPdfLink":true,"isSAML":false,"additionalInfo":{"Authored_By":"Chadha RM, Crouch C, Zerillo J, Pretto EA Jr, Planinsic R, Kim S, Nicolau-Raducu R, Adelmann D, Elia E, Wray CL, Srinivas C, Mandell MS","Journal_Info":"Publisher: Sage Publications Country of Publication: United States NLM ID: 9807630 Publication Model: Print-Electronic Cited Medium: Internet ISSN: 1940-5596 (Electronic) Linking ISSN: 10892532 NLM ISO Abbreviation: Semin Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth Subsets: MEDLINE","Publication_Type":"Journal Article; Practice Guideline","Published_Date":"2017-12-01","Source":"Seminars in cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia [Semin Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth] 2017 Dec; Vol. 21 (4), pp. 352-356.
