The resident website has up to date information on what residents are doing, what opportunities are available to us in the ASA, and links to other anesthesiology websites.

ASA $1000 Grants
for Resident Regional Meetings

In 2005, the ASA approved a resident component initiative to provide $1,000 grants for groups of residents organizing regional meetings.  Five grants are available each year to residents in each of the ASA’s “caucuses,” New England, Southern, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Western.  We hope that this will provide residents with an opportunity to put together seminars with information on practice management, legislative issues, finance or anything else that they otherwise would not get in their programs.

Application information should be sent in at least 60 days before the meeting is scheduled to take place and include the following information:  primary resident contact name; list of other residents involved with organization along with their institution and e-mail addresses; description of meeting location and logistics; proposed date(s) of event; proposed agenda and speakers; attached letter from state society– should express support and hopefully pledge of matching funds; attached copies of proposed event flyer which mentions ASA and, if applicable, state society sponsorship; information about the general geographical location the event is expected to draw from; plans for getting information to target residents.  Using the money to expand an already existing resident meeting is allowed.  Weight will be given to programs that include resident leadership and attendance from multiple institutions.  Please feel free to contact any ASA RC officers with any questions. 

E-mails with the application information should be sent to Chris Dionne at c.dionne@asahq.org.

*Deadline date for application is March 1, 2010
