Submission Information

RCLs, Panels, Point Counterpoints, Clinical Forums, Snap-Talks, Hands-on Workshops, Interactive Tutorials.

All accepted PBLD cases will be presented in a round-table discussion with emphasis placed on team-based interactive discussion rather than on a lecture by the moderator. Prior to the session, PBLD pre-registered attendees will have received the “PBLD Homework” which includes the submitted “Stem Case and Key Questions” and “Model Discussion” sections of the case. They will have been instructed to review the homework and come prepared to discuss the case. Moderators will begin the session by presenting the case with clear objectives and directives to attendees to work together to find solutions. The moderator will provide feedback to the group and guide participants through discussion and decision-making as the case unfolds.

Abstracts submitted to ASA will be considered for Oral or Featured Abstract (paper poster) presentations. These presentations are delivered in English without translation. Abstracts chosen for an Oral or Featured Abstract session must be delivered by a presenting author fluent in English to facilitate comprehension of the information by the learner. Presentations are organized by topic into specific categories (e.g., Clinical Circulation, Experimental Neurosciences). Experts in the field facilitate or moderate all scientific abstract presentations. Submitters may apply for the Resident Essay Contest and be considered for the Journal Symposium (This year’s theme is "Protecting Moms: Anesthesiology and Peridelivery Care.”

The ASA Scientific and Educational Exhibit format is not intended to be used as a repository for work better presented as a scientific abstract or poster presentation. Rather, this educational vehicle is intended to be used to display scientific or educational materials that may be best presented in the 10x10 exhibit space. Past examples focused on airway management, pain management and peripheral nerve blocks, including use of ultrasound techniques and exhibits that educate through the use of computer-based learning, advanced communication technology, handheld devices, videos and simulators.

Medically Challenging Cases (MCCs) and quality improvement (QI) project presentations are a great opportunity for medical students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty to participate in ANESTHESIOLOGY. MCCs were introduced at the ASA annual meeting in 2005 as a forum for anesthesiology residents and attendings to present clinically challenging experiences and receive input from attendees as to how they would address the same difficult situation. These cases are of immense educational value to those attending the meeting and provide the presenter, specifically junior faculty, residents, and fellows, an opportunity to attend the annual meeting, gain experience in preparing a case presentation along with a poster, and present and share their experience to fellow colleagues.
