Midweek Message from the Chair: SPA-AAP Participation

Good afternoon,

This past weekend, anesthesiologists who specialize in pediatric anesthesiology gathered at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas for the annual Society of Pediatric Anesthesiologists-American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine meeting.

Though the call of the beach was likely quite strong, our Department nevertheless persisted, representing the Medical College of Wisconsin and Children’s Wisconsin proudly! You can see photos from the event (submitted by faculty) here, and find a list of all who participated in the meeting below. We also boasted participation from all of our Pediatric Anesthesiology fellows and one of our residents as well, as they presented posters and/or presented alongside faculty members in workshops.

Thank you to all! Your continued enthusiasm for and commitment to furthering our specialty – as well as cementing our organization’s reputation as an academic center for the care of children – does not go unnoticed!
