Message from the PresidentIt is my honor to serve as your president this year. In keeping with my mission to inform, educate, and collaborate, I have numerous exciting offerings. With the growth and expansion of newer service lines in Ambulatory settings, it is conceivable that many of us will be caring for higher risk patients undergoing more involved procedures. A "Did you know" series on enhanced monitoring and equipment for ambulatory settings will attempt to inform readers about what's out there to safely care for these patients. We are also planning a series of combined webinars to promote inter-society collaboration, so stay tuned. SAMBA also plans to offer free membership to Residents and Medical Students. Once we finalize the details we will share them with the program directors. Meanwhile, those of you with residency programs, please consider enrolling your residents as members so they may take advantage of the educational materials, mentorship and abstract presentation opportunities. Finally, keep your eyes peeled for a new wellness section on the SAMBA website.
