Abstract
It is important to provide appropriate education and training to staff to promote a culture of safety in surgery centers. In this chapter, we will discuss mandatory staff trainings (e.g., Malignant Hyperthermia and fire), as well as recommended trainings to staff. The principles of Crisis Resource Management and various team based approaches can be incorporated into education/training to foster inter-professional teamwork and improve performance. In addition, as a part of team work training, cognitive aids can be utilized to reduce human errors and enhance staff communication.
