Educational objectives

After participating in this educational activity, participants should be able to:

Review current basic science, clinical, and translational research with regard to its applicability to regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine practice.
Describe current methods of regional anesthetic/analgesic techniques for perioperative and acute pain management.
Perform a risk/benefit analysis of specific regional anesthetic techniques to select optimal choices for surgical anesthesia and perioperative pain control.
Identify the barriers to implementation of current regional anesthetic/analgesic techniques into practice, and discuss strategies to overcome those barriers.
Incorporate modern opioid and nonopioid systemic analgesic agents and multimodal analgesic protocols into perioperative and acute pain medicine.
Describe 3 emerging pharmacologic products of potential future use in regional anesthesia and pain medicine and identify pros and cons of their actions
Describe both short- and long-term outcome variables that are improved by effective regional anesthesia and pain medicine.
Identify key aspects of the Affordable Care Act relevant to the practice of regional anesthesia and pain medicine services and describe their challenges and opportunities
Assemble a valuable network of international colleagues for consultation and future self-directed learning.
Fulfill knowledge base and technical skills requirements for the ASRA-ASA Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia (UGRA) Education and Clinical Training Portfolio.
Claim American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA) patient-safety CME credit.

Target audience

The ASRA CME program provides educational activities to physicians, residents, fellows, and scientists. ASRA supports a multi-disciplinary and inter-professional approach to continuing education and patient care by also providing relevant education for other healthcare professionals not directly engaging in interventional regional anesthesia and/or pain medicine procedures. ASRA offers learning opportunities to the national and international healthcare community.
