My involvement with the SPA has been extensive including consistent involvement in the education committee leading to appointment as program chair for the 2007 - 8 winter meetings. Subsequently, I promoted the development and chaired the Fundamentals meetings that will resume as a comprehensive review this year. I have been involved in the conception and development of the International Assembly to be held in Washington this year. The meeting is certain to be the largest international meeting of pediatric anesthesiologists ever held. Chairing the IAPA program has required coordination with the ASA, WFSA as well as multiple pediatric societies and key leaders from around the world. It also includes a special article in Anesthesia and Analgesia, a special edition of Pediatric Anesthesia and a Scholars Program that has raised funds to assist young pediatric anesthesiologists from around the world.
The IAPA and my involvement at the SPA have been a labor of love. The meeting represents my view that the SPA has the opportunity to move into a position of international leadership. Increasingly, the membership and leadership of all of the various societies of the world must begin to work together to promote education, research and most importantly high quality, safe and effective care for children regardless of where in the world they live.
In addition to my involvement in creating and conducting educational content, I have contributed to the enduring materials and with SPACIES created a set of guidelines for the provision of care on short term medical missions in the less developed world. These guidelines have been adopted by the SPA, as well as the plastic surgical, cleft lip and palate and maxillofacial societies and have been published in the respective journals of the societies.
As a member of the board and Chair of the By-Laws Committee I have rewritten and/or revised significant portions of the current by-laws and assisted in revising the structure of the Winter Meeting finances with the goal of making the meeting self-sufficient.
Involvement with other national/international (pediatric) anesthesia organizations (if applicable) – please provide a brief description of organization.
- ASA - Chair Scientific Content Subcommittee for Pediatric Anesthesia – This is the committee that creates all of the pediatric content for the ASA Annual meeting.
- ASA - Chair Committee on Pediatric Anesthesia (COPA) – I will assume this position this fall.
- IARS - I was asked by the SPA board to represent them at the SmartTots advisory board. SmartTots is a public private partnership between the US FDA and the IARS devoted to funding a promoting research related to anesthetic related neurotoxicity in children.
- US FDA - Current Chair of the Anesthetic, Analgesic Drug Product Advisory Committee (AADPAC) for the US Food and Drug Administration. This is the committee at the FDA that reviews for approval all drugs for use as analgesics and anesthetics in the US. It oversees the FDA response to concerns regarding use and misuse of narcotics, drug shortages, and the potential neurotoxicity of anesthetic agents.
- AAP - Member of the AAP Committee on Anesthesia and Pain Management.
- MSA - As a member of the Minnesota Society of Anesthesiologists I led a group that created a set of guidelines for the care of children in Minnesota operating rooms. Minnesota is one of only two states with such guidelines.
- ASPS - For several years I served as the only non-plastic surgeon on the VIPS (Volunteers in Plastic Surgery) steering committee. This is the committee that oversees all volunteer activity for the Society and reviews grants for Smile Train. My contribution to the group was to provide insight into patient safety and co-author guidelines for safe care that have been broadly adopted by ASPS and several other organizations including the SPA.
- SNI - Smile Network International is an organization devoted to the care of children in the less developed world. As a member of the Board and the Medical Director I wrote the majority of the existing care protocols, organized mission staffing, interacted with donors, and assisted in overall oversight of the organizations activities.
- PAPD - The Pediatric Anesthesia Program Directors committee is now a part of the SPA. Previously this group was independent and oversaw the activities of pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs. My role was as president – elect. I stepped down from that role in order to allow my assistant PD to assume the role of PD at Mayo.
- AASPD - As a former program director and president elect of the PAPD I served as a member of the AASPD (Association of Anesthesiology Subspecialty Program Directors).
- ABA - The American board of Anesthesiologists recently convened a group to write the upcoming pediatric anesthesia subspecialty board examination. As a member of that group I have participated in the writing and editing of questions for that exam.
- ACGME - I have been asked to participate in the Milestone project to develop new criteria for advancement of residents and fellows in pediatric anesthesia.
