Vital Times 2019 - 102

Join Us for Some SUN,
SAND, and CME at
the CSA 2020 Annual
Meeting!
O

n behalf of the California Society of
Anesthesiologists (CSA) Educational Programs
Division, we are excited to invite you to join us at the
beautiful Paradise Point Resort and Spa in Mission Bay,
San Diego.
Our main theme for this year's program has been
Anesthesiologists as leaders - we are so well positioned
to lead in so many care areas, and we can enhance our
skills to take these leadership roles. This year's program
will also provide enhanced tools needed to deliver highquality patient care as anesthesiology care evolves. The
program provides sessions grouped by specialty interest
with expert speakers from throughout California and
across the nation.
On Saturday evening all delegates, speakers, and
exhibitors are invited to a barbeque on the beach at
Paradise Point. This fun event for the CSA is an excellent
opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones and
network. We hope you will attend.
The program starts on Thursday afternoon with Leading
Ultrasound in Anesthesia - a workshop that will
provide participants with hands-on, small group teaching
in a range of ultrasound applications following
the validated FORESIGHT educational curriculum that

teaches a wide range of scans that includes point
of care cardiac exams, pulmonary ultrasound, and gastric
ultrasound. Attendees will also get education
and hands on experience with many ultrasound guided
regional anesthesia scans. Following each portion of
the day, attendees will be provided review, hands on
practicum and reporting opportunities and feedback.
These workshops are limited in size, so please sign up
early if you are interested.
The plenary sessions focus on our leadership in specialty
areas and feature a combination of high-yield
lectures, panel discussions and question / answer
components. As you'll see in the schedule, we have a
broad range of topic areas covering peri-anesthesia
care. Concurrently, the program will host small group
Problem-Based Learning Discussions (PBLDs) featuring
expert faculty but focusing on case-based and practical
take-home points and organized by specialty interest
within a theme reflecting challenges.
We are including Abstracts as part of our general session,
in both poster and oral presentation formats.
Attendance at these abstracts includes CME credit. This
will be an excellent opportunity to share recent
research with your fellow colleagues and peers! New this
year is the ability for audience members to
