This study explored how anesthesiologists understand situational awareness (SA) and how they think SA is learned, taught, and assessed. ⋯ Although SA is an essential concept in anesthesiology, its use remains rather tacit, primarily due to the lack of a common operational definition of the term. Faculty development is required to help anesthesiologists teach and assess SA more explicitly in the clinical environment.
