inpatients and outpatients, as well adjunct analgesic medications
•
Learn to apply regional anesthesia techniques in a variety of
surgical settings including trauma, elective outpatient and more
invasive orthopedics, vascular surgery, abdominal and pelvic
procedures, head and neck surgery, and plastic/reconstructive
surgery
Educational Overview
Clinical Experience
