I just received a form from my program about requesting weeks off for vacation and conference. I guess we can choose any anesthesia conference we want to go to. Are there any conferences that you would recommend? Or do most people just choose a nice vacation spot that has a conference going on?
The ASA meeting each October is definitely worth going to. Aside from a wide variety of lectures and workshops available, the drug and equipment reps use the time to fill your pockets with all kinds of toys and wine and dine you each night. Just be sure to put your ear filters on.
I will be a CA-1 at UIC this upcoming year. I e-mailed the program coordinator and she told me that there are a list of conferences on the ASA webpage. I assume that I'll just go to one in a city I want to visit (e.g. Vegas in the winter). I need to call people who are there right now and ask about funding.
