Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a curriculum about professionalism on stress response during a critical situation in anesthesiology residents. Residents in anesthesiology will complete a training program on professionalism during their first postgraduate year. They will go through a standardized simulated scenario where they have to manage an intra-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest and then meet the patient's family. Stress response will be assessed and compared to a control group that did not receive the training program.
