Meetings

The IARS holds an Annual Meeting yearly where the anesthesia community can come together to discuss the most pressing issues to the specialty of anesthesia and healthcare as a whole plus find many opportunities to connect with peers and thought leaders. The IARS Annual Meeting focuses on state-of-the-art, basic and clinical research data in all areas of clinical and basic science anesthesiology and accepts scientific abstract submissions and medically challenging case reports.

Additionally, each year early-career anesthesia scholars can take advantage of a valuable day of programming during the Scholars’ Program, designed just to meet their needs, with important takeaways and opportunities for connection.

COVID-19 Resources

The COVID-19 pandemic is a major health crisis straining the healthcare system and affecting us all. The IARS is committed to supporting our members who are addressing this illness on the front lines in any way we can. The IARS COVID-19 Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) continually screens newly published peer-reviewed articles from respected journals to identify those of greatest clinical and scientific relevance to anesthesiologists, intensivists, related specialists and investigators. Our open-access newsletter provides a link to each highlighted article along with a short summary of key points. The SAB does not include any information from news media, social media, or scientific articles lacking full peer-review such as pre-prints.

Additionally, IARS has assembled a content base with the latest peer-reviewed articles as well as a list of published guidelines and reviews on COVID-19 from leading medical journals, all include summaries with major takeaways and are searchable by topic.
