Medical residency training is a guided and supervised organised training programme to ensure the occupational and personal development of medical residents (MRs), so that they can provide reliable and appropriate health services to patients. During the specialisation-training process, MRs are given clinical and basic theoretical and practical training, aiming to ensure that they acquire the necessary competencies to provide effective health services, with the correct attitude and behaviour, basic research skills and administration and management skills (1). In recent years, an effort to improve education, globally and in Turkey, has gained momentum and transformed into a pandemic (2). The medical residency training in Turkey is regulated by the Medical Specialization Council (TUK/MSC). This commission was formed by the Turkey Ministry of Health and includes curriculum creation commissions (TUK-MOS). This commission defines clinical and interventional competencies for the anaesthesia and reanimation specialty. Internal rotations in intensive care, pain medicine and special surgeries in different surgical departments for anaesthesia purposes (such as neuroanaesthesia and cardiovascular anaesthesia) for a minimum period of 2-4 months are recommended. External rotations in cardiology and respiratory medicine are also recommended (3).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
