Program Information

Target Audience

This meeting is designed for anesthesiologists, anesthesia providers, practitioners, nurses and administrators who work and specialize in ambulatory, office-based or non-operating room anesthesia.

About This Meeting

The purpose of this meeting is to educate and share information that will enable anesthesiology practitioners to provide the highest level of ambulatory anesthesia services and improve patient outcomes. Topics for this meeting were selected by various methods. Suggestions for topics were derived from evaluations of the 2022 and other previous Annual Meetings. In addition, the Annual Meeting Committee and Board members review the published literature with the highest impact on the specialty and solicit suggestions from members of SAMBA active in the clinical practice of ambulatory anesthesia. These suggestions were discussed with educators who attended previous SAMBA meetings.
