Carolina Cadaver Course [C3]
Within the clinical specialty of anesthesiology a strong interest in regional anesthesia (peripheral nerve blocks) has continued to develop over the last decade. Within the last few years this interest has been further assisted by the introduction of handheld ultrasound devices. This is evidenced by the increasing number of dedicated ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia workshops offered by the two largest anesthesia societies, namely the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA). Members of the Regional Division, Department of Anesthesiology at Duke have regularly participated as the faculty of these courses as well as the Duke ultrasound course, now in its fifth year. The location of the venues (typically hotel conference rooms) precludes the use of cadaveric tissue with which to demonstrate at close hand the relation of the pertinent nerves to adjacent tissues. It has been well recognized that this “hands-on” cadaveric teaching helps to emphasize the participants’ understanding of anatomy that can be readily transferred to the improvement of clinical skills of nerve block placement.

Visiting Preceptorship in Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography
Participants in the Duke Preceptorship spend a
three day session in the cardiac operating suites,
observing techniques of intraoperative TEE and
interpretation of images. Preceptors will
participate in active discussions with cardiac
anesthesia faculty and fellows, learn the basic
and comprehensive TEE exam. They will also
learn how to troubleshoot difficult cases and
enhance their decision-making skills in the
operating room. Daily case reviews with expert
faculty, handouts and access to image libraries
will augment their preceptorship experience.
