FAER resident scholars must register for the ANESTHESIOLOGY® annual meeting as any other meeting attendee would. FAER provides each participating department with a $1,000 grant to cover the cost associated with sending a resident to the meeting. FAER does not reimburse the resident directly. It is up to the department to determine what expenses are covered.
FAER encourages resident scholars to attend as many sessions as possible while at the meeting. The resident scholar, or the department, will be responsible for the cost of special workshops or panels attended.
FAER resident scholars are responsible for arranging their own travel and hotel for the meeting. Hotel reservations for official conference hotels can be found on the ASA annual meeting website.
The complete schedule for FAER Resident Scholars is to be announced. There are some mandatory events. If you have a poster session scheduled at the same time as a FAER-required activity, contact the FAER office at 630-912-2554.
FAER Resident Scholars are encouraged to attend the ASA Resident Component Society events. The Resident Component hosts a number of workshops and forums during the annual meeting. Learn more about the ASA Resident Component Society.
State caucuses meet on Saturday and Tuesday afternoons to discuss issues before the House of Delegates meetings. State ASA directors will have the locations and schedules for their meetings. Reference committee hearings are open to all ASA members at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® annual meeting.
ASA provides complimentary shuttle service between the convention center and the official conference hotels. The ASA annual meeting website and program book will have information on shuttle service.
Although there is no formal dress code for the meeting, standard daily dress is business casual.
The annual meeting offers an abundance of networking opportunities with leaders in anesthesiology. Bring plenty of business cards. Resident scholars are encouraged to stop by the FAER booth to meet FAER leadership and connect with others in the field.
