[Teaching experience of the anesthesiology training unit at Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria]. / Experiencia de la unidad docente de Anestesiología y Reanimación del Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria.

BACKGROUND: Health care in Spain has improved progressively and professionals are now required to meet competency levels that safeguard the citizen's right to health protection. To achieve this, instructors in residency training programs and resident physicians themselves are calling for a common framework for training to ensure quality and consistency. Given the scarcity of articles related to training in our journal and following the First Meeting of Residency Program Instructors of the Sociedad Española de Anestesiologia y Reanimación (SEDAR), there has arisen a need to explain how SEDAR's training unit is organized. METHODS: In order to facilitate the sharing of experiences of those involved in training anesthesiology medical residents, we undertook a descriptive analysis of our hospital's curriculum. RESULTS: The structure and operation of the department are described in this report. The results of anonymous surveys completed annually show the satisfaction of residents (9.4 out of 10) and physicians (8.7 out of 10). An audit by the Ministry of Health showed that the curriculum met 100% of the required criteria.
