Dr. Rebecca S. Twersky Research Award

The inaugural “Dr. Rebecca S. Twersky Research Award” was awarded at the 2024 Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) annual meeting in Savannah, Georgia. The award is intended to recognize at the SAMBA annual meeting the research of a junior attending who is the first author of the highest rated research or quality improvement abstract.

Dr. Rebecca S. Twersky was one of the founding members of SAMBA, a past president of SAMBA in 1998, and the recipient of the SAMBA Distinguished Service Award in 2005, in addition to being credited with numerous awards, presentations and publications. She transformed ambulatory anesthesia and office-based anesthesia into the specialty we recognize today. One of her passions was promoting research - especially among junior attendings early in their career.
