Course Description

The Midwest Anesthesia Residents Conference (MARC) meeting is designed for residents in Midwest anesthesia training programs to participate and then present scholarly activity to their peers. This is a program that encompasses all areas of anesthesia. The anesthesia faculty from the various Midwest training programs moderate and judge all presentations. The residents/fellows/medical students present approximately 500 abstracts over the course of the weekend. Simultaneous with the abstract presentations there are workshops and oral board review sessions.

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of the meeting the participants should be able to:

  • Develop an appreciation of the depth and scope of research studies conducted in other institutes.
  • Review recent medical information pertaining to but not exclusive to anesthesia and pain management. (The majority of the information presented at the MARC meeting is presented for the first time.)
  • Identify and describe key topics in anesthesia through interesting anesthetic cases.
  • Discuss new anesthetic techniques.
  • Demonstrate increased knowledge and skills in anesthetic techniques by participating in oral board review sessions.
