Message from the Program Chair

Dear Colleagues,

The TAS Planning Committee is looking forward to seeing you in sunny Palm Springs, CA, for the 10th Annual Thoracic Anesthesia Symposium.

May 2022 marks an important date in the history of the Thoracic Anesthesia Symposium, and we are thrilled to share this milestone with all of you. During the past two years, the COVID pandemic and its aftermaths have posed challenges both at work and at home, forcing us to adapt and create a new “normal.” The virtual format has taken over our practice and lifestyle because we may have forgotten what traveling and in person activities look like

May 13, 2022, will mark the start of a new “old routine”; we are planning to see each other in person for a time of learning and networking, seeing old friends and making new ones, and celebrating the 10th anniversary of TAS.

Please join us in sunny California for a day of lectures, workshops, and mentoring through both PBLDs and resident/fellow sessions. Join us for a town hall discussion on anything you may want to explore or share with our panel of experts or with your colleagues.

Be sure to support and encourage our fellows and residents at the abstract/poster stations and during the “best case” and “best research” sessions.

We hope to see you in person, full of energy and enthusiasm for a great in-person event. Come, participate, evaluate, and give us your candid feedback. We are excited to offer you updates, controversies, and new practices in the field of thoracic anesthesia. You are the foundation for the success of this day. Without you, we could not reach this 10th anniversary, but we will continue to grow and advance the field with you.

Thanks to your ongoing interest, participation, constructive feedback, and passion for thoracic anesthesia, the Thoracic Anesthesia Symposium has grown to be ten years old!

We are looking forward to meeting you all in California.

Best,

Alessia Pedoto, MD
