Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to invite you to join us for this year’s Minnesota Society of Anesthesiologists 2024 Annual Conference, held September 28-29, 2024, at the Radisson Blu Mall of America. This year’s theme is, “What’s New in the Subspecialties” and includes many engaging speakers in a variety of learning formats, including lectures, resident oral presentation sessions, problem based learning discussions (PBLDs), and a hands-on workshop.
New this year, in an effort to provide more networking opportunities for members, MSA has organized a half-day program the Saturday of the Annual Conference, followed by an afternoon trip to Target Field for the Twins vs. Orioles game. We hope you can join us!
Prior to the game, Saturday’s program will feature talks on quality care, what’s new in obstetric anesthesia, managing perioperative pain, vasodilation treatment and pediatric airway. We’ll wrap up Saturday showcasing our fantastic Minnesota anesthesiology residents at the “Best of MARC” presentation session.
Sunday’s program will follow with talks on transforming OR medication safety and ultrasound equipment. These lectures will be followed by concurrent Problem-Based Learning Discussions and an Ultrasound Workshop.
Our incredible line-up of speakers includes Dr. Annery Garcia-Marcinkiewicz from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Dr. David Auyong from Virginia Masom Medical Center in Seattle, and Dr. Karen Nanji from Massachusetts General Hospital. Both Drs. Garcia-Marcinkiewicz and Nanji will be participating in the PBLD session on pediatrics and anesthesia safety, respectively.
On behalf of the MSA Education Committee and the entire MSA Board of Directors, we invite you to join us and are looking forward to seeing you all in September! To keep effective facilitator-to-participant ratios, our PBLDs and hands-on workshops will have a limited number of participant slots available, so make sure to register early!
Sincerely,
Bridget Pulos, MD, FASA
Chair, MSA Education Committee
