Abstract
Purpose of review: Although effective patient safety education is critical to reducing medical errors, little guidance exists on best practices for patient safety curricula. This review explores the current state of patient safety education in anesthesiology and highlights emerging technologies as tools to enhance and personalize education.
Recent findings: Despite formal mandates from accrediting bodies, patient safety education in anesthesiology lacks standardization in content, delivery, and assessment. Structured clinical training, simulation, and quality improvement projects are common teaching strategies, but novel approaches such as immersive reality (IR), artificial intelligence (AI)-powered agents, gamification, and mobile platforms are gaining traction. AI shows promise in tailoring instruction and identifying high-risk learners, and IR offers tools for both technical and nontechnical skills training.
Summary: Patient safety education in anesthesiology is evolving with technology. AI and digital tools provide adaptive and interactive learning experiences that may help address current limitations in fixed, generalized curriculum structure and accessibility. However, these innovations require robust validation and thoughtful integration into educational frameworks to realize their full potential.
