NEUROMONITORING WORKSHOP: Basic and Advanced Levels
Due to the overwhelming success of last year’s Neuromonitoring Workshop(which sold out weeks before the meeting), this year Antoun Koht and Tod Sloan have organized two state-of-the-art Neurophysiologic Monitoring workshops (Basic and Advanced Level offerings). As before, there will be a modest fee to participate.
New this year is a Mentoring Workshop planned by Deborah Culley and the Committee on Scientific Affairs. This Workshop, which will feature a “speed mentoring” format, is directed toward Fellows and new faculty and boasts a cast of luminaries in academic anesthesiology as speakers and mentors. This Workshop will be free to those registering for the SNACC Annual Meeting (or for a fee for those wishing to attend just this Workshop). However, space in the Workshop will be limited and potential participants are required to apply by submitting a current CV and a 250-word statement of career interests and goals to snacc@snacc.org by September 1, 2010.
EXHIBITS: Please visit with our exhibitors during the Exhibit hours on Friday, October 15, 2010: 7am - 7:45am, 10:15am - 10:45am, 12:00pm - 1:15pm, 3:00pm - 3:30pm.
