  "abstract": "Introduction\n\nSafe anesthesia requires technical and non-technical skills to prevent adverse events. Non-technical skills training is not routinely incorporated into formal anesthesia education in the United States. This quality educational improvement initiative aimed to provide clinical anesthesia (CA) residents with non-technical skills training.Methods\n\nThree anesthesiologists completed virtual Anaesthetists' Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) training in May 2023. An anesthesiologist developed two high-stress simulation scenarios. Fourteen residents were randomized into dyads for the first simulation/post-simulation survey, followed by a two-part didactic seminar on human factors based on the ANTS framework and a post-didactic survey. One hundred twenty days later, residents were re-randomized for a second simulation and another post-simulation survey. Two ANTS-trained anesthesiologists reviewed video recordings of both simulations.Results\n\nCohen's kappa demonstrated moderate agreement (κ = 0.43; 95% CI, 0.36-0.49; p <0.001) between evaluators. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests indicated improved non-technical skill use among CA1 residents, while senior residents generally performed better during the first simulation. Fisher's exact tests showed no significant associations in resident knowledge or confidence following training.Conclusions\n\nNon-technical skills training may benefit residents early in CA training, while senior residents may have different learning needs. Simulation-based training appears feasible; however, formal, recurring, and consistent education may be needed to reinforce these skills throughout residency.",
