PAINTS: Pediatric Anesthesiology Internet-based Non-Technical Skills
The PAINTS curriculum was created in response to determined need from across the SPA/PAPDA (Pediatric Anesthesiology Program Directors’ Association) community. This collection of short, asynchronous, recorded content includes over 40 lectures divided into 8 non-clinical domains. While the primary purpose of the curriculum is optimizing the non-clinical aspects of education for Pediatric Anesthesiology fellows, the content is freely available to any other fellows or other community members.
The full list of domains and lectures is shown below for informational purposes.
