eSAS Scholars’ Day Program

The Scholars’ Program is specifically designed for early-stage anesthesiology scholars and focuses on topics unique to them, such as sharpening skills and best practices, career and publishing advice, and networking. The program also provides an opportunity to network, interact with, and learn from established anesthesiologists.  There is a $50 fee to attend this program, which is open to all Annual Meeting registrants.

ACTIVITY OVERVIEW

Many early stage Anesthesiologists are interested in pursuing meaningful translational research to improve the care of their patients and forward the knowledge of the specialty but lack the knowledge and resources to pursue participation in research. The purpose of the Early Stage Anesthesia Scholars (ESAS) program at IARS is to provide physician scientists with knowledge, insights, resources, encouragement, and community to pursue their own independent research path within Anesthesia.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The 2023 Early Stage Anesthesia Scholars (ESAS) program is designed to address these specific education needs of anesthesiologists-in-training and early stage anesthesia investigators in any area of general anesthesia, subspecialty anesthesia, or pain management.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

As a result of participating in this live CME activity, learners will:

  • Understand eligibility, requirements for relevant grants and how to successfully apply for these grants.
  • Understand the roles of a mentor and a sponsor and the key qualities to look for in both.
  • Gain insight into their own sources of stress and how self-care translates to improved patient care.
  • Acquire stress-management techniques to use in and out of work.
CREDIT DESIGNATION STATEMENT

The International Anesthesia Research Society designates the Scholars’ Day live activity for a maximum of 3 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
