California Society of Anesthesiologist is proud to announce a Virtual Anesthesia Resident Research Day on the June 13 at 9:00 am. Although many Universities and departments of anesthesiology are doing online presentations for their trainees, we believe this is the first ever State-Wide virtual resident research day in the US. 

We have 14 presenters who will get 5 minutes to discuss their power point presentation, followed by a 1-minute question and answer period.

You can tune in by using this link http://www.csahq.org/events/csa-resident-research-day
