Summary

To date, there has not been an assessment of ASA members to determine satisfaction with DEI and cultural humility/structural competency education within institutions and programs. We developed a 24-question survey that will be distributed via email to current members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Members include learners at all levels - medical students, residents and fellows - as well as attending anesthesiologists, CRNAs, research staff etc. The survey questions are aimed to assess the current state of diversity training in anesthesiology education. This survey serves as a needs assessment and will help gather information on the current state of DEI education within the specialty. The results of the survey will serve as an impetus for improvement in this domain by developing novel educational modules and workshops on these topics, at the institutional level and nationwide.
