Abstract
Introduction The prevalence of burnout among anesthesiology residents is 41%-51%. Burnout is associated with medical errors, physician turnover, and substance use disorder. Social support and wellness may reduce burnout, but a barrier is support persons' lack of understanding of an anesthesiologist's work demands. We developed the Family Anesthesia Experience (FAX) to help support persons best support their resident. Methods FAX consisted of a 4-hour event with hands-on experience, didactics portion, and panel discussion. Participants learned about a typical day in the life of an anesthesiology resident, wellness, burnout, substance use disorder, and available support resources, and had hands-on experience with procedures. The panel discussion offered logistical information about anesthesiology residency and allowed support persons to ask panel members questions. A postevent survey collected feedback on the event. Results Fifty-one participants (first-year anesthesiology residents and their support persons) attended the event. Eight of 11 residents (73%) and 32 of 40 support persons (80%) completed the survey. All enjoyed the event, would recommend it to other anesthesiology resident support persons, and felt the event would improve communication and support. Most learned a moderate (35%) to large amount (50%) from the event. Qualitative feedback suggested most support persons found the event helpful in improving their understanding of anesthesiology residents' work demands. Discussion The FAX was well liked by participants. Although we did not assess specific knowledge gained and long-term effects of the 2022 event, evaluations of previous years' events suggest that the event improved participants' understanding of anesthesiology residents' work and stressors.

Abstract
Background This study reviews and appraises the articles published about anesthesiology education in 2020. The objective is to highlight high-quality evidence while showcasing articles with innovative ideas and high relevance to the practices of the anesthesiology education community. Methods Three Ovid MEDLINE databases, Embase.com, ERIC, PsycINFO, and PubMed were searched, followed by a manual review of articles published in the highest impact factor journals in both the fields of anesthesiology and medical education. Abstracts were double screened, and quantitative articles were subsequently scored by 3 randomly assigned raters. Qualitative studies were scored by 2 raters. Two different rubrics were used for scoring quantitative and qualitative studies. In addition, reviewers rated each article on its overall quality to create an additional list of top articles based solely on the opinion of the reviewers. Results A total of 2,491 citations were identified through the search criteria and the manual review. Of those, 61 articles met the inclusion criteria (57 quantitative and 4 qualitative). The top 12 quantitative papers and the top qualitative papers with the highest scores are reported and summarized. Conclusions We found that teaching clinical procedures continues to be a topic of interest, with more studies of improved rigor identified. New trends in wellness studies and increasing attention to distance learning and technology-assisted instructional methods were additional topics covered over the year.
