*ASA House of Delegates

**FAER Honorary Research Lecture
The FAER Honorary Research Lecture recognizes outstanding scholarship by an anesthesiologist in an effort to encourage young anesthesiologists to consider careers in research and teaching, which are crucial if anesthesiology is to maintain its reputation as a medical specialty continuously striving for excellence in patient care.

***FAER Panel
The FAER panel features prominent speakers from the anesthesia research community. Panel members illustrate the importance of research in anesthesiology, share their knowledge and insight of how to identify and facilitate research opportunities available to residents and convey how to apply this information to their practice and academic career.
