Anesthesiology has a long history of innovation, entrepreneurship, and close interactions between academicians, private practitioners and industry to bring new concepts to the clinical arena and better care for our patients. Using an entertaining format similar to “Shark Tank,” anesthesiologist inventors will present their ideas for innovations to a panel of industry experts who are involved in the development of such innovations. This session will educate the audience regarding the multiple steps involved in the process and provide resources for those who hope to advance the practice through innovation.
