Intent and Overview or Objectives
The
program is intended to enhance knowledge of historical events in
anesthesia. Great advances have been
made in the field of anesthesiology and it is important that practitioners
recognize the historical roots of current practice. Meetings of the Anesthesia History Society offer a mechanism of
disseminating and archiving the achievements that have been made in the field
over the years. Needs assessment is based on prior course evaluations,
literature, and expert opinion.
Who Should Attend
Primarily
physicians, anyone interested in medical history.
Continuing Education Credit
This
activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential
Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of the University of Pittsburgh
School of Medicine and the Anesthesia History Association. The University of
Pittsburgh School of Medicine, as part of the Consortium for Academic
Continuing Medical Education, is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing
medical education for physicians.
*The
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine designates this educational
activity for a maximum of 5 category 1 credits toward the AMA Physician's
Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those credits that he/she
actually spent in the educational activity.
