Moderated Open Session: Pain Research Workforce Needs

Description
Given the prevalence of chronic pain in the U.S. and the need for better pain management techniques, there is a need to grow the number of clinical pain researchers who can make novel contributions to the clinical pain field.

This panel will present the results of surveys developed and distributed by two key stakeholders, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders of Stroke and the Anesthesia Research Council (International Anesthesia Research Society, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), and Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER)), each of which is committed to advancing discovery to clinical practice; however, research advances are threatened by the decline in the physician scientist workforce.

Through presentations and a moderated session to solicit audience feedback about how to enhance the clinical pain research workforce, the primary objective of this webinar is to enable an open discourse within the anesthesiology community about what is needed to create a larger, sustainable research workforce for the future.

Developing Cultural Humility

Description
Approximately 140 million babies are born every year in the world. This session will review topics associated with healthcare disparities, structural racism and implicit bias, in the very unique setting of pregnancy and the peripartum period. As anesthesiologists, it is our responsibility to resolve the association between trauma-related conditions and maternal mortality, which affects the communities of ethnic/racial minorities, LGTBQI+ and all marginalized pregnant people we serve.
