Pro-Con Debate Participant, CCAS Annual Meeting 2012

I have interests in development of the fellowship training curriculum in pediatric cardiac anesthesiology, and in education about congenital cardiac anesthesia care for practicing anesthesiologists. I would like to develop CCAS peer reviewed curricular offerings on congenital cardiac topics that can be disseminated via the SPA/CCAS website.

I am also a member of the AASPD section for pediatric fellowship directors, Pediatric Anesthesia Program Directors Group. I am active with the Pediatric Anesthesia Leadership Conference, have worked on a committee to develop a vetted 2nd fellowship year curriculum for pediatric pain management. I spent 8 years in private pediatric practice before returning to academics, and would love to help grow CCAS membership from this practitioner group.
