Residents & Fellows
Our aim is to create an accessible platform for information on upcoming conferences and events, opportunities for involvement and continued advocacy for our specialty.
We want to provide the tools to enhance the resident and fellow experience by creating a supportive environment for collaboration, links to mentorship, networking and career development.
As future anesthesiologists in a healthcare system that is continuously evolving, we have an important role to play in the development of our specialty. We hope this forum can increase awareness and participation in advocacy within anesthesiology and facilitate you in furthering your career goals.
We invite your comments and suggestions. Please e-mail us with your thoughts or for additional information contact: rfs.nyssa@gmail.com
