The Global Anesthesia Workforce Survey: Updates and Trends in the Anesthesia Workforce

CONCLUSIONS: The overall size of the global anesthesia workforce has increased over time, although some countries have experienced a decrease. Population growth and differences in which provider types that are counted can have an important impact on provider density. More work is needed to define appropriate metrics for measuring changes in density, to describe anesthesia cadres, and to improve workforce data collection processes. Effort to scale up anesthesia provider training must urgently continue.PMID:38470828 | DOI:10.1213/ANE.0000000000006836
