Needs Assessment

Topics for this meeting were selected by several methods. Suggestions for future topics were derived from evaluations of the 2004 and other previous mid year and annual meetings. Additionally, these suggestions were discussed by our authorities in the field of ambulatory anesthesia with educators who attended previous Annual, Mid Year and Board meetings.
