Title:  Health Equity Curriculum for Anesthesia Residents

OA Global Health Equity Section Editor Sam Percy interviews OA Global Health Equity Associate Section Editor Betelehem Asnake about her background and work creating a health equity curriculum for surgery and anesthesia residents that is freely available online. The link to the resources as well as some of the topics discussed on the podcast are below.

UCSF CHESA Health Equity Curriculum - The Health Equity Curriculum (HEC) was created by the Center for Health Equity in Surgery and Anesthesia (CHESA) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) with contributions from multidisciplinary collaborators. The HEC was designed to fill a gap in health equity education for surgery and anesthesia residents to better serve patients. The curriculum is intended to be integrated into the core training for all residents, provide exposure that generates career interest, and be complimented by more robust training opportunities and pathways in global health. https://globalsurgery.org/health-equity-curriculum/

UCLA Anesthesiology Global Health Equity - This mission of the UCLA Anesthesiology Department's Global Health Equity section is, "To be at the forefront of various aspects of global health equity work in anesthesia around the world through education, research and advocacy by working hand in hand with collaborators in low-resource settings."

For over a decade, OpenAnesthesia Multimedia has served as a dynamic audio extension of the larger OpenAnesthesia.org project, a key resource sponsored by the International Anesthesia Research Society. Born from an experimental idea by founders Dr. Ed Nemergut and Dr. Robert Thiele, this podcast has evolved alongside the digital landscape of medical education. It specifically targets the ongoing needs of anesthesiology residents and practicing physicians, offering a portable way to engage with complex topics. Episodes translate the latest research, clinical debates, and foundational knowledge into digestible conversations and lectures. You'll hear expert analysis on evolving practices, deep dives into pharmacology, and discussions on patient safety, all designed to fit into a busy clinician's schedule. Rather than just summarizing articles, the content here provides context and critical appraisal, fostering a deeper understanding that goes beyond the textbook. The OpenAnesthesia Multimedia podcast is essentially a constantly updated audio curriculum, reflecting the society's enduring mission to advance graduate medical education in this specialized field. It turns commute time or moments between cases into opportunities for professional growth, directly contributing to the global community of anesthesia providers. This isn't about casual listening; it's about engaging with the substance of the specialty, keeping skills sharp and knowledge current through a format that is both convenient and intellectually rigorous.
