We developed a sedation training course (SEDTC) based on ‘Practice Guidelines for Sedation and Analgesia by Non-Anesthesiologists’ to improve safety in sedation. The SEDTC was developed by applying several education methods from various simulation-based training courses. To this end, we surveyed complications that novice doctors encounter and established learning goals. We then conducted a survey regarding how the SEDTC affected attitudes toward sedation. Pre- and post-surveys were conducted to evaluate the extent to which participants understood the course content and the effects of debriefing on learning efficacy, and satisfaction with the SEDTC was also validated. The SEDTC has been continuously improved upon and used to educate medical staff. Anesthesiologists are expected to play a crucial role in these courses and safety improvement.
