I am not a resident so, if that's important, please just ignore my post. You have touched one of my sore spots.
If you really want to make a difference, move away from the "lecture" system. This is the 21st century; we are surrounded by information. All we need is time and motivation to study (ideally at the end of every day). I can remember very few things I learned first from a lecture during residency; I mostly remember how much most of them sucked (at least for what I was expecting). At the beginning of the day, I was royally unhappy to have my OR set up by 6 am. At the end of the day, I was wondering why I was wasting time listening to a presentation I could have read in 1/3 of the time, and from a much better book.
One should not aim to be taught something that one can learn on one's own. Residents are adult learners with supposedly high IQs. There shouldn't be many theoretical lectures or presentations in graduate medical education; there should be many case discussions, and tests (otherwise people won't know how little they know). Practical approach to all kinds of situations, not pretentious Powerpoint presentations that nobody will remember after a few weeks. For anesthesia, that means mock orals, (mock) simulations, learning from senior anesthesiologists' personal experience on various subjects etc. Practical stuff that one can apply in the OR.
If anesthesia is like flying a plane, we need more hours in a (virtual) simulator, not in a conference room.
