Building a neuroanesthesia educational infrastructure for perioperative neurosurgical patient care.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article aimed to examine the value of education and training within perioperative neuroscience and its development for supporting the delivery of high-quality, safe patient care.

RECENT FINDINGS: Perioperative neuroscience is a rapidly evolving field in anesthesiology, with current research demonstrating the potential for neurological injury in patients undergoing nonneurological and neurological surgery. Expertise is essential to mitigate risk. Current evidence in perioperative neuroscience suggests a patient benefit with subspecialty training. Advanced training programs have continued to evolve with the development of global accreditation programs for fellowship training.

SUMMARY: Advanced training within perioperative neuroscience is necessary to improve healthcare outcomes. Accreditation of training programs offers standardization and quality assurance.
