Abstract
Competency-based training and active teaching methods are increasingly becoming accepted and utilized in medical schools and hospitals, and obstetric anesthesiology training is expected to follow this process. This article summarizes current modalities of obstetric anesthesiology training in five countries from various parts of the world. Analysis of these curricula shows that implementation of new educational methods is variable, incomplete, and lacking in data related to patient outcomes. Research in assessments and practical applications are required to avoid wide ranges of educational strategies.
