The SPA Education Committee met on Saturday, October 13 in New Orleans
to review the evaluations of the 2001 Annual Meeting and to begin planning
the 2002 Annual Meeting program. Dr. Anne Lynn called the meeting to order
and the following committee members participated: S. Suresh, S. Schulman,
I. Cohen, L. Martin, D. Stillions, F. Kern, L. Liu, B. Koka, J. Steven,
M. Zwass, V. Armistead, L. Dahm, J. Tobin, M. Schreiner, F. Cassidy, P.
Davis, M. Yaster, L. Maxwell, D. Ririe, C. Lenox, S. Stayer, A. Ruscher,
W. Binstock, L. Means, J. Niezgoda, K. Hanson, P. Davidson, R. Agarwal,
E. Stuth, and S. Hinckley.
The committee reviewed the ACCME requirements for exemplary compliance
in each of the essential areas. Particular emphasis was placed on documenting
that the needs assessment comes from multiple sources and not just from
evaluation forms. The recommendation was made to have all future program
directors provide an outline of where each topic was derived such as evaluations,
expert opinion, journal articles, other programs, etc.
Some of the topics that were discussed for the 2002 program include Thrombosis/Hemostasis;
Control of Coagulation & Inflammation; Blood Substitutes; Component
Therapy; LMA for Tonsillectomy, Evidence Based Medicine and family-centered
anesthesia. A first draft of the program was developed by Dr. Zwass, who
will contact potential speakers. It was noted that the next business meeting
will be held during the 2002 program in Orlando.
