Show Notes:
Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast will be an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.

Dr. Elizabeth Malinzak takes us behind the scenes of a fascinating educational initiative bridging knowledge gaps in anesthesiology. As a pediatric anesthesiologist at Duke University and liaison between the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation and Open Anesthesia, she’s spearheaded the development of over 30 patient safety and quality improvement summaries designed for today’s learners.

Malinzak reflects on crucial topics like crisis resource management, fatigue mitigation, and handover protocols that weren’t part of traditional training. This educational void inspired her to create accessible, concise resources that meet modern learning preferences. Gone are the days of textbook deep-dives; today’s professionals need searchable, digestible content they can absorb between cases or during brief study sessions.

What makes these summaries particularly valuable is their breadth and collaborative development. Each summary is peer-reviewed and often created through mentoring relationships between experienced clinicians and trainees, creating educational value beyond the finished product.

Malinzak offers a clarifying perspective on how quality improvement relates to patient safety: “Patient safety is the goal… That’s what we want to accomplish with every single patient. Quality improvement is the process… how we get to the goal.” As anesthesiologists face increasingly complex cases and efficiency pressures, this distinction helps practitioners develop systematic approaches to protect vulnerable patients. Looking ahead, she envisions technologies like AI reducing administrative burdens so clinicians can focus entirely on vigilant patient care. Discover these valuable resources by visiting Open Anesthesia’s website and filtering for patient safety topics – you never know which summary might teach you something new today.

We hope that you will check out OpenAnesthesia.org and the OA Summaries.

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.”
