Abstract: With the rapid development of thoracic surgery, the proportion of difficult operation has been gradually increasing, which stimulates staff capacity building and technology development of anesthesiology. Also, the contents of thoracic anesthesia training for residents are getting more complicated. The theory, standards and techniques involved are constantly updated, so it is of great value to establish a standardized thoracic anesthetic training program. It should include airway management, ventilation strategy, multimodal analgesia and post-operative enhanced recovery management. This paper reviews the current situation of thoracic anesthesia training to fill the gap in this field. The research focuses on the development of a competent faculty, the training cycle, evaluation and feedback mechanism. By establishing a standardized training program which may achieve the goal of training qualified anesthesiologists, improve peri-operative safety and accelerate post-operative rehabilitation.
