Building a competency-based curriculum in pediatric anesthesia in Latin America

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Pediatric anesthesia training in Latin America remains heterogeneous, marked by disparities in infrastructure, educational frameworks, and subspecialty recognition. With rising surgical demand and evolving perioperative challenges, aligning training with competency-based models is crucial. This narrative review draws on international guidelines, regional experiences in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, and global curriculum frameworks to propose strategies for harmonizing pediatric anesthesiology education. We highlight structural gaps, curricular priorities, and opportunities for regional collaboration toward a unified, context-sensitive competency-based model that responds to both global standards and local realities.
