The National Medical Commission in its recent guidelines has stated that postgraduate training in anaesthesiology should have clear objectives and be competency based. This means that the existing teaching-learning (TL) methods need a major face-lift. E-learning and blended learning including learning management systems, virtual classrooms, app-based learning, flipped classroom, podcasts, webinars, web-based collaborative education, reflective feedback, problem-based discussions and mentorship are some newer TL methods that can be adopted. Simulation can help teach technical and non-technical skills such as leadership, teamwork and communication. In line with TL methods, newer assessment methods have to be applied to revolutionise postgraduate anaesthesia education. Formative assessment and assessment of clinical skills are important and to do this, workplace-based assessment methods such as mini-clinical evaluation exercise, direct observation of procedural skills, multisource feedback, logbook and E-portfolio can be applied. Objective structured clinical examination, simulation-based assessment and E- assessment are other useful evaluation methods.
