| Breakfast Panels
to Present a Diversity of Topics |
John R. Moyers, M.D., Vice-Chair
Section on Annual Meeting
The Breakfast Panels are an important and informative part of
the ASA Annual Meeting due to the commitment and expertise of
those involved in their planning and presentation.
Each of nine subspecialty groups in anesthesiology will again
present the Breakfast Panels as part of the 1997 ASA Annual Meeting
in San Diego. These diverse subspecialty groups will cover a wide
variety of topics pertinent to the anesthesiologist, ranging from
patient management issues to the use of the Internet. This extensive
range of subjects will be discussed by many outstanding speakers
from the subspecialty societies.
The ASA Committee on Anesthesia Subspecialties, which acted as
liaison with the subspecialty societies during the formation of
the program, should be recognized for their invaluable assistance.
The committee is composed of John G. Poulos, M.D., Chair, David
L. Brown, M.D., Alan W. Grogono, M.D., Charles H. Lockhart, M.D.,
Roger A. Moore, M.D., L. Charles Novak, M.D., Susan K. Palmer,
M.D., Sujit K. Pandit, M.D., David S. Smith, M.D., and Jeffery
S. Vender, M.D. Similarly, the presidents and the program chairs
of the nine subspecialty societies represented in this year's
program should be commended for the quality of the topics and
speakers.
Breakfast Panels will be scheduled at the San Diego Marriott
Hotel and Marina from 7:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. on Monday through
Wednesday, October 20-22.
