Study Summary

This study will determine the efficacy of a teaching program incorporating hybrid simulation in training practicing anesthesiologists on ultrasound (US)-guided continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB). This study will also examine the extent of practice change following participation in a regional anesthesia teaching program incorporating hybrid simulation. In addition, this study will assess remaining obstacles to incorporating the use of US-guided perineural catheters through identifying potential future interventions and "tool-kits" for setting up perineural catheter programs.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome is the change in composite score from baseline assessment based on the video analysis tool used by blinded reviewers. The baseline assessment at time 0 will take place after initial orientation to the simulation lab. This procedure will take approximately 15 min to perform and record. After the morning session of training (4 hours), the interval assessment at time 1 will take place in the same manner. The final assessment will take place following the entire course (8 hours t
