From May 4 to May 6, 2018, 26 UCSF anesthesia residents presented at the 56th annual Western Anesthesia Residents Conference (WARC) in San Diego, hosted by the University of California San Diego Department of Anesthesiology. Our residents did an outstanding job representing UCSF and showcasing the great work that we do everyday.
The conference's 7th annual keynote Eger lecture was given by Dr. Michael Gropper. It memorialized Dr. Eger's life and his contributions to the field of Anesthesiology.
