For the third consecutive year, ASA will have a Resource Center
at the ASA Annual Meeting. This is the one-stop area at the meeting
to answer your questions and obtain information on services and
programs offered by ASA. The resource center in Orlando, Florida,
will be located in the Technical Exhibit Area in Exhibit Halls
C-E1 with hours of operation as follows:
| Sunday, October 13 |
12 noon to 5 p.m. |
| Monday, October 14 |

| Tuesday, October 15 |
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. |
The committees and organizations involved in this year's Resource
Center include the ASA committees on Communications, Electronic
Media and Information Technology, Patient Safety and Risk Management,
and Practice Management. The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation,
the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research and the Wood
Library-Museum of Anesthesiology (WLM) will present exhibits about
their current and projected activities. Also available will be
the ASA journal Anesthesiology. This is your chance to talk to
members of the editorial board, find out how to access the journal
online and review past issues of the journal.
Access to the scientific papers presented at the Annual Meeting
will be available in the Resource Center. Attendees who wish to
access the full text of all scientific abstracts may access them
from this area of the Resource Center. Information on continuing
medical education opportunities offered by ASA, including the
Self-Education and Evaluation (SEE) program and workshops, will
be available. Computers will be available on which to view the
SEE Program. You can also stay in contact with your office or
home via e-mail kiosks. Attendees with questions regarding membership
and services offered by ASA will have the opportunity to meet
with ASA staff to have their questions addressed.
Other services available at the meeting but not included in the
Resource Center this year are the Placement Service and ASA Book
Sales. If you are looking for an anesthesiologist for your practice
or are an anesthesiologist looking for a position, the Placement
Service can help. Notice of practice opportunities and positions
being sought will be posted on interactive multimedia units. A
meeting room will be reserved for people to meet informally to
discuss practice opportunities. The Placement Service will be
at the Orange County Convention Center in the lobby outside the
registration area. The message center also will be in this area
and throughout the convention center.
The ASA and WLM publications will be on display and available
for purchase in ASA Book Sales. Book Sales will be in room 230C-D.
