29th Annual Conference: Challenges for Clinicians

Chicago, IL US
December 4, 2015 to December 6, 2015

The evolving landscape of perioperative medicine has dramatically increased the scope and complexity of anesthesia care. New techniques, new drugs, new evidence, quality and safety concerns all play a role in today’s practice environment. This conference will focus on areas of anesthetic care that require integrating these new aspects of medical care. Increasingly, we need to know not only whether techniques are effective, but also high quality, safe, evidence-based, and cost effective.

Target Audience

The target audience includes Anesthesiologists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and other clinicians and health care professionals working with a variety of patients and practice settings.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the effect of revolutionary changes in health care on anesthesia practice;
  • Use new techniques, drugs, and monitors;
  • Incorporate these new tools into practice in the changing environment.
