- Title
Lesson planning for anesthesiologists: A simplified approach.
- Authors

- Abstract
Anesthesiologists are responsible for teaching in-person and online, often with little formalized training in medical education and lesson planning. This review presents a "backwards approach" to lesson planning with the aim of guiding and simplifying the process for anesthesiologist teachers. The first step in lesson planning is the creation of learning objectives which should be specific, measurable, and reasonable in number. The instructor then needs to consider which assessment methods might be used to measure the extent to which the learning objectives have been achieved by the learner group. A needs assessment of the learner group will help to refine the learning objectives and assessments methods and will provide context for the learning activities. The timeline and types of interactive learning activities chosen to present the material should be clearly outlined (often using a lesson planning template) so that a road map is created for the teaching session. Finally, the teacher's reflections on the teaching session can incorporate the results of assessments and feedback from learners to guide future iterations. This backwards lesson planning method can be successfully implemented for both in-person and online learning and provides an organized approach for novice and experienced anesthesiologist teachers alike.
