Exciting news! We are delighted to extend an invitation to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Annual Legislative Conference, slated for May 18 – 20, 2026, in Washington, DC.
Each year, CSA sponsors three residents or fellows to participate in our esteemed delegation. This presents a unique opportunity to engage directly with media and public policy experts, gaining valuable insights into recent developments in healthcare legislation, such as physician-led medicine, patient safety issues, physician wellness, and fair, sustainable reimbursement.
Following this immersive experience, participants will have the chance to apply their newfound knowledge as they engage with congressional members and staff, advocating on behalf of our specialty.
The opportunity covers the full cost for three residents/fellows, encompassing airfare, hotel accommodation, and a per diem allowance to attend the conference.
If you are interested in attending, we kindly ask you to complete the brief application form by Friday, January 30, 2026.
This conference offers an incredible opportunity for any resident or fellow with an interest in advocacy and media relations. It provides a platform to understand how these skills can be effectively utilized to advance the interests of anesthesiologists and advocate for the welfare of our patients.
