Reflective Practice in Anesthesia Clinical Teaching
Abstract
Background
Reflective practice is an essential aspect of knowledge generation for professional practice. By reflecting on action, professionals learn to improve their practices. Through processes of reflection, practitioners participate in a dialogue between theory and practice. Even though reflective practice is an important approach for learning from experience, its place remains unclear in anesthesia clinical education as well as anesthesia practice in a broad sense.
Aim
The aim of this paper was to examine the affordances of reflective practice in anesthesia clinical education.
Methods
Two cases, illustrating critical incidents in the anesthesia clinical teaching environment, were examined to consider how incorporating reflective practice into clinical education can advance knowledge generation in the field.
Findings
The two cases studies show how reflective practice can contribute to experiential learning, particularly through reflection on critical incidents.
Conclusion
Reflective practice can help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practice in anesthesia education and practice.
