SUMMARY:Ultrasound Lab: TxANA Block Party - Where Precision Meets Analgesia
DESCRIPTION:The TxANA Regional Anesthesia Ultrasound Lab is an immersive\, hands- on educational experience designed to enhance participants' knowledge and technical proficiency in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. &nbsp\;Using a rotating station format\, participants will develop foundational and advanced ultrasound skills through live scanning\, anatomy identification\, needing techniques\, and simulated block performance under the guidance of experienced regional anesthesia instructors. &nbsp\;Through focused instruction\, deliberate practice\, and case-based discussions\, learners will integrate ultrasound principles with clinical decision-making to improve the safety\, accuracy\, and effectiveness of peripheral nerve blocks. &nbsp\;Participants will leave with increased confidence in ultrasound image acquisition\, recognition of sonoanatomy\, needle visualization\, and the application of regional anesthesia techniques across a variety of clinical scenarios.

SUMMARY:Concurrent Breakout Session 1: Clinical Trials: Learning to Embrace\, Empower\, and Enjoy Your Anesthesia Training Experience
DESCRIPTION:This session explores the clinical training experience as a series of “trials” that challenge and ultimately shape the development of a future nurse anesthetist. Framed around foundational principles for success\, the discussion emphasizes maintaining a patient-centered mindset\, approaching each day as a professional opportunity\, and adapting to the unique demands of different clinical environments. Attendees will gain practical strategies to build self-confidence\, respond constructively to feedback\, manage stress\, and develop resilience throughout training. In addition\, the session highlights the key habits\, attitudes\, and standards that distinguish high-performing trainees\, equipping learners to move beyond simply enduring residency and instead engage in it with purpose\, professionalism\, and growth.\nObjectives:\n* Identify the foundational principles of a successful residency experience.\n* Articulate techniques for boosting self-confidence\, managing stress\, and cultivating resilience.\n* Decribe essential qualities\, habits\, and standards that define excellence in the anesthesia profession.

SUMMARY:Concurrent Breakout Session 2: CRNA Program Director Roundtable: Preparing for a Successful Journey to Nurse Anesthesia School
DESCRIPTION:Considering a career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)? Join program directors from Texas nurse anesthesia programs for an interactive roundtable discussion designed specifically for registered nurses exploring the path to nurse anesthesia. This session will provide valuable insight into the admissions process\, applicant expectations\, academic preparation\, and strategies for building a competitive application. Participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from program directors\, ask questions\, and gain a better understanding of what it takes to be successful before\, during\, and after CRNA school.

SUMMARY:Hands-On Airway Lab: TxANA Airway Rodeo: Session I
DESCRIPTION:The TXANA Airway Rodeo is an immersive\, small-group learning experience designed to strengthen advanced airway management skills through interactive simulation\, hands-on practice\, and clinical decision-making. Using a rotating station format\, participants engage in realistic airway scenarios that integrate ultrasound\, advanced oxygenation strategies\, video laryngoscopy\, flexible intubation\, and emergency surgical airway techniques. Through brief clinical scenarios\, focused skills practice\, and expert-facilitated debriefing\, learners apply evidence-based principles to complex airway challenges they may encounter in practice. The goal is for participants to leave with increased confidence in identifying the cricothyroid membrane using ultrasound\, optimizing oxygenation with high-flow nasal therapy\, performing advanced intubation techniques and executing emergency cricothyrotomy using airway models.
