These sessions will be moderated by faculty who regularly organize and hold sessions for our residency program. The participant will also have the option of attending our mock oral examination seminar, where proper techniques (and common errors) will be demonstrated using faculty as both examiner and candidate, with active debriefing sessions involving all participants. A TEE workshop, emergency airway workshop, and ultrasound for CV access, and an ultrasound regional anesthesia workshop are included at no cost.An additional benefit of this course will be the enduring materials provided with registration to all participants.
