The Department of Anesthesiology's Acute Pain Service (APS) places ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) to manage acute peri-operative pain. PNB success is dependent on detailed anatomical knowledge which residents may not have formally reviewed since medical school. This study describes the integration of a cadaver review session (CRS) that reintroduces PNB-related anatomy into the existing APS rotation. During each CRS, an anatomist reviewed the major nerve and surrounding structures, while an APS attending integrated the anatomy with PNB techniques. During the pilot, 1st- and 3rd-year clinical anesthesia (CA) residents (9 CA1s, 7 CA3s) completed pre- and post-session surveys and rated the CRS's perceived value and impact on self-confidence with anatomical knowledge. Following the pilot, an additional 17 CA1s and 9 CA3s participated in the CRS and completed post-session surveys. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize responses and unpaired t tests were used to compare pre- and post-session responses and responses between cohorts. All participants were overwhelmingly positive about the CRS and its value to the APS rotation, with 98% agreeing they recommend the CRS and found it accessible. Residents believed participation would improve board exam (average=4.83 +/- 0.66) and clinical performance (average=4.86 +/- 0.65), and self-reported increases in confidence with anatomical knowledge. Residents in the pilot group reported significantly greater confidence (p<0.01) in their perceived anatomical knowledge after the CRS. The CRS positively impacted resident confidence in their anatomical knowledge and perceived ability to identify anatomical structures. Residents reported the CRS was a highly valued addition to regional anesthesia training.
