Education Committee
The Education Committee supports SAMBA’s mission by developing and organizing educational programming for our members. We offer regular live webinars featuring expert speakers on topics relevant to ambulatory anesthesia, along with time for audience questions and discussion. These webinars are also recorded and made available for future viewing on the SAMBA website. In addition, the committee develops and coordinates a SAMBA panel of experts for submission to the ASA Annual Meeting. In collaboration with the Communications Committee, we also solicit, edit, and distribute the biweekly “Did You Know?” email series, which highlights practical tips and emerging research in ambulatory anesthesia.
