Train the Trainer Committee Member

The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) is seeking to recruit one new Committee Member of the ESAIC Train the Trainer (TtT) Committee. The ESAIC recognises that the standard of teaching of Anaesthesiology is a vital element of ensuring that our patients receive high quality safe care. Although doctors receive a great deal of education, they are not often taught how to deliver education. To address this, need the ESAIC has developed a basic and intermediate TTT course (split into an online and a F2F segment) for Anaesthesiology Specialists and final year Anaesthesia Residents to improve their teaching skills.

The three-year mandate of the member of the Train the Trainer (TTT) Committee of the ESAIC becomes vacant on 1 January 2026.

• Assist in the selection of Faculty of the TTT course and participate in TTT activities as a faculty member.
• Review and improve the educational material of the TTT course.

• Play an active role in the ESAIC Train the Trainer Committee.
• Attend the TTT Committee meetings at least twice a year; one meeting of the TTT Committee takes place face-to-face at the Euroanaesthesia Congress. Other TTT Committee meetings will take place as video- or teleconferences.
