Welcome to the UB Regional Anesthesia Website!

I am thrilled that your interest in comprehensive regional anesthesia has brought you to our webpage.
If you are ready to transfer your desire to perform regional anesthesia into the proficiency of actually administering it, you have come to the right place. While you earn up to 12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s) TM, our comprehensive workshop will offer the tools to help you achieve your goal.

This workshop’s faculty, comprised of physicians who themselves transitioned from the traditional use of anesthesia to ultrasound-guided anesthesia in their own practices and can speak on that experience, its advantages to patient care and the effect on best practices, will address barriers to physician change, as well as demonstrate, teach and improve upon the individual learner’s theoretical knowledge base and performance techniques to reach a level of proficiency that provides the comfort level participants seek to break down barriers in their own practices.

On Saturday, March 25th, 2017, our course offers in-depth didactic lectures on upper extremity blocks, lower extremity blocks and ultrasound basics, followed by cadaver, ultrasound and live models lab sessions that are carefully designed to educate and fully engage course attendees in all of the educational hands-on activities. All information will be disseminated through a combination of lectures, multi-media, and PowerPoint presentations, diagrams, course handouts, interactive discussions, small-groups lab sessions and question-&-answer activities. The comprehensive handout for the course features the Military Advanced Regional Anesthesia and Analgesia Manual among other pertinent information gathered each year by the Planning Committee. For easy post-workshop access to this information, our participants receive a flash drive for their library.

On Sunday, March 26th, 2017, our optional 4-hour course is dedicated in its entirety to have learners practice and repeat their physical dexterity until each individual participant’s desired comfort and proficiency level of hands-on nerve scanning skills, hand-eye coordination/needling skills, and simultaneous ultrasound equipment usage and needle placement has been achieved.
