Abstract:
Liver transplantation is a complex procedure performed on critically ill patients with multiple comorbidities, which requires the anesthesiologist to be facile with complex hemodynamics and physiology, vascular access procedures, and advanced monitoring. Over the past decade, there has been a continuing debate whether or not liver transplant anesthesia is a general or specialist practice. Yet, as significant data have come out in support of dedicated liver transplant anesthesia teams, there is not a guarantee of liver transplant exposure in domestic residencies. In addition, there are no standards for what competencies are required for an individual seeking fellowship training in liver transplant anesthesia. Using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education guidelines for residency training as a model, the Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia Fellowship Committee in conjunction with the Liver Transplant Anesthesia Fellowship Task Force has developed the first proposed standardized core competencies and milestones for fellowship training in liver transplant anesthesiology.
