Another strong showing for our department is in the books! We had an impressive presence at ANESTHESIOLOGY 2024, the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), held October 18-22 in Philadelphia. With a robust schedule of educational sessions, poster presentations, and collaborative workshops, our faculty, residents, fellows, and alumni played their part in making the conference an incredible experience for all who were able to participate.
Among the highlights of the event was our Alumni Reception, held on Sunday, October 20, at the historic Union Trust. The event was well-attended, drawing 150 alumni and current department members for an evening of networking, reconnecting, and celebrating our collective achievements. The reception highlighted the vibrant anesthesiology community at UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh and provided a memorable opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the globe. To alumni who may have missed this year’s reception, we encourage reaching out to us at anescommunications@upmc.edu to ensure inclusion in future alumni event invitations.
Throughout the conference, our department members actively engaged in knowledge sharing through talks, panels, and poster presentations. The event was an inspiring blend of cutting-edge research discussions, hands-on learning, and invaluable professional exchanges, all aimed at advancing anesthesia care and patient outcomes.
Looking forward, we’re excited to gather again for next year’s ASA meeting, scheduled for October 10-14, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. Until then, we invite everyone to enjoy our photo gallery showcasing moments from this year’s meeting—a reminder of the collaborations, learning, and community that make ASA’s annual event a defining highlight of the year.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the success of this year’s event!
