ABOUT THE EVENT

In our ever-changing health care environment, a greater number of procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. With this increased volume of outpatient procedures comes a wider variety of patients, with a broader range of underlying conditions. The 2015 Fall Conference will feature a theme of outpatient anesthesia, with an excellent slate of outstanding experts scheduled to present. The afternoon will feature an airway workshop, allowing you to hone your skills in the most current airway management techniques with fellow anesthesiologists. In addition, there will be a special bonus presentation of the prestigious Society of Anesthesia for Obstetrics and Perinatology Ostheimer Lecture for 2015. As always, the Fall Conference includes a delicious lunch and offers an excellent opportunity for you to network with colleagues from around the state.
