More than twenty faculty, residents, and staff from the Department of Anesthesiology had a great weekend at the Florida Society of Anesthesiologists’ annual meeting held June 9-11 at The Breakers in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Chris Giordano, M.D., professor of anesthesiology, division chief of Liver & Transplant Anesthesiology, and director of the Anesthesiology/CCM Clerkship, accepted the position of FSA president after being named president-elect at last year’s meeting. He will serve for one year.
