Newsletter Issue 2: Challenging Existing Practices – March 21, 2025
In this issue, we reflect on how advances in research are changing our perspectives. Experienced clinical trial specialists shared insights and lessons they have learned about the mechanics and obstacles involved with conducting multicenter clinical trials. In another exciting session the expert speaker contemplated consciousness and unconsciousness and how anesthetics might play a role in unraveling those complex concepts. Anesthesia & Analgesia Editors guided attendees in a hands-on Journal Club workshop that unwrapped how to analyze currently published research. Finally, new research models were examined to better understand the mechanisms underlying postoperative delirium. These dynamic investigators and speakers challenged existing practices and presented their groundbreaking research on a wide range of vital topics.

Newsletter Issue 3: A New Hope for Patient Care – March 22, 2025
In this issue, discover innovative and compassionate approaches to patient care that offer new hope for patient and family member coping mechanisms and patient survival. Expert palliative and critical care specialists offered a more integrative model for ICU care. Another session challenged traditional resuscitation paradigms which would transform outcomes for cardiac arrest patients. Thought leaders in one insightful session proposed solutions to address the gender gap parity in anesthesiology. Finally, important articles published in Anesthesia & Analgesia and A&A Practice from the past year were recognized. These leaders are setting the example for the future of clinical care.

Newsletter Issue 4: Adapting Modern Practice – March 23, 2025
In this issue, we consider innovative approaches to adapt modern practice for managing pain, allowing for better patient outcomes. One session examined opioid use disorder in pregnant patients and offered solutions for treating pain in this vulnerable population. Expert speakers approached pain management from another lens, focusing on the therapeutic potential of controversial agents in treating pain. Another insightful session delved into the benefits of tailoring care to the individual patient for pain management. Finally, promising investigators shared their leading-edge research during the Kosaka Best Abstract Session!

Newsletter Issue 5: Steering the Course for Your Career – March 24, 2025
In this issue, we focus on steering the course of your career from scientific and clinical training to career transitions and developing new skills to continue to improve. Three expert speakers shared stories of career transition and offered advice on navigating change. In another insightful session, the speakers offered guidance on how to unravel the complicated training options as an anesthesia provider, especially one who conducts research. One session looked at training from another angle, showcasing how virtual reality and augmented reality can be powerful tools for training procedural skills. Finally, experts in the integration of artificial intelligence highlighted how to harness the potential of AI to transform anesthesiology research and practice.
