Train the Trainer Committee Members 

The ESAIC is seeking to recruit two new members for the Train the Trainer Committee (TTTC).

The 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 Train the Trainer Committee is part of the umbrella committee Education and Training Committee (EdTC).
