The Annual Conference of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) featured extensive participation from Weill Cornell Anesthesiology. The conference was held in San Francisco from October 12-16. There were over 20 events led by Weill Cornell faculty, fellows, residents and medical students. In addition to the conference presentations, panels, and poster sessions, Weill Cornell Anesthesiology hosted a reception on Sunday evening, October 13, which allowed current faculty, fellows, and residents to connect with alumni. The Department’s participation in Anesthesiology 2013 was considered a success on all fronts.
Here is a list of all of the presentations delivered by Weill Cornell Anesthesiologists at the 2013 ASA meeting:
