34th Annual Conference: Challenges for Clinicians

December 5, 2020 to December 6, 2020
THIS CONFERENCE IS NOW BEING HELD VIRTUALLY!
The scope and complexity of anesthesia care has dramatically increased along with the evolving landscape of perioperative medicine. New techniques, new drugs, new evidence, and new quality and safety concerns all play a role in today’s practice environment. Increasingly, we need to know how to make good care decisions, evaluate and apply evidence, maximize safety, and measure outcomes. This conference will focus on how to optimize perioperative care to function in today’s perioperative environment.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and other clinicians and healthcare professionals interested in the fields of anesthesiology and pain medicine.
