FAER REPORT

FAER Partners With Anesthesiology Societies

Anesthesiology societies make significant contributions to progress in anesthesiology. Although each organization has unique objectives, they all share common values and goals. Central to these common goals are the advancement of anesthesiology and the improvement of patient care. This shared vision unites various anesthesia societies and is furthered by their commitments to education, research and their ongoing partnership with FAER. These societies have sponsored several researchers through FAER. Some of the most recent people and projects are listed below.

American Geriatrics Society

Deborah J. Culley, M.D., Brigham & Women's Hospital, Aging and Postanesthetic Cognitive Dysfunction
