Back to Chicago for ANESTHESIOLOGY 2016
If you’d told us at ANESTHESIOLOGY 2011 that we’d be seeing you again in Chicago, five years and 13,000 oximeters later, we’d smile and say…
“Absolutely. Here’s hoping!”
And here we are! Delighted to announce that Lifebox is returning to the Windy City for ANESTHESIOLOGY 2016 later this month. We’ve been around the world and back (several times!) since our last visit, with safer anaesthesia workshops in more than 100 countries, and 10 million patient lives made safer through our programmes.
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) members have made extraordinary contributions to our work over the years – from giving our chair Atul Gawande a keynote address, engaging young anesthesiologists in competitive philanthropy through the Lifebox Resident Challenge, giving generously through the ASA Charitable Foundation, and spending time, resources and personal commitment to make anaesthesia in Central and South America safer for patients across the entire region.
We’re looking forward to catching up with old friends, and making some new ones.
And don’t forget to check out our Masterclass programme! Launched in 2014 as an opportunity to talk face to face with friends and experts in global anaesthesia, this popular series is back. Keep an eye out as our preliminary schedule starts coming to life…
