Abstract: Objective To investigate the current status of standardized resident training teachers in anesthesia in Beijing in order to strengthen the faculty training in future. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was distributed to all 17 standardized resident training institutions in Beijing in April 2019. Totally 588 attending anesthesiologists were covered who were asked to report their training experience and how familiar they were with the requirements of the standardized resident training. SPSS software and chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Chi-square was used to compare the Categorical variables. Results The results showed that 26.7%(157/588) of them did not receive standardized resident training themselves and only 78.4%(461/588) of them received hospital-based faculty training. There were no standardized teaching materials for resident training and the percentages of “very familiar” were significantly lower in five subspeciaties, cardiac anesthesia[35.4%(208/588)]; acute pain management[41.2%(242/588)]; pain clinic and ward[22.3%(131/588)]; intensive care unit[21.9%(129/588)]; pediatric anesthesia[ 45.1%(265/588)] and in one anesthesia method-nerve block[57.7%(339/588)] than other subspecialties of anesthesia methods (P<0.001). The percentages of standardized resident training teachers who carried out research, teaching skills and medical English training were relatively low, which were 55.6%(327/588), 64.8%(381/588) and 50.2%(295/588) respectively. Conclusions Faculty training is in need in standardized resident training teachers, and percentage of receiving faculty training needs to be improved. The current study found out some weakness in anesthesia subspecialties and one anesthesia method, which will be the targets of further faculty training.
