Education Mission Statement

The Annual Meeting will focus on several areas of pediatric anesthesia and critical care management. The overall goals for attendees of the program are to reinforce and enhance their existing fund of knowledge, introduce them to new state-of-the-art issues that affect their practice, and particularly to improve the perioperative / critical care of pediatric patients.

Target Audience

This program is intended for anesthesiologists and other practitioners who care for children in their practice of anesthesiology and/or critical care. It is also intended for clinical and basic researchers whose areas of investigation relate to pediatric anesthesia / critical care.
