The ASA Annual Meeting Program has many additional scientific and educational opportunities for you to choose from.

*Attendance will be taken.
**ASCCA/FAER and SEA/FAER Resident Scholar: On a first-come, first-served basis, resident scholars registered for the FAER Resident Scholar program have the opportunity to learn more about the American Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists or Society for Education in Anesthesia by participating as an ASCCA/FAER or SEA/FAER Resident Scholar and attending the SEA or ASCCA Annual Meeting held on Friday, October 17, a day before the start of the FAER program.  Chair/Program Director is required to indicate on the application form their approval for the resident to attend.
+Designated seating.  Residents will be allowed to leave after the ASA President has welcomed and recognized the Resident Scholar participants.

ASA Meeting Activities: Resident Scholars are expected to participate in educational activities at the Annual Meeting, including workshops, scientific sessions and exhibits. Resident Scholars may attend refresher courses, provided space is available, by showing their ASA Annual Meeting identification badge and a refresher course pass which will allow them into the refresher courses of their choice.  The pass will be available in each registered Scholar’s meeting information from the ASA. (See ASA Program for refresher course information.)

FAER and Abbott Laboratories intend this to be a memorable and worthwhile investment in each resident scholar’s professional growth and development. All scholars are encouraged to review with their program director or faculty mentor their schedule for ASA activities to be sure that the sessions are most applicable to the resident’s education and interests.  In the past, it has been helpful for the resident to attend the meeting with a faculty member or senior resident who has previously attended the ASA.
