• We are thrilled to offer an in-person, ALL CRNA experience of an Ultrasound Guided Block Workshop, featuring approved applications of Exparel, presented by Jonathan Kline CRNA and faculty from Twin Oaks Anesthesia. Special thanks to the educational funding provided by Pacira BioSciences, Inc. This workshop is an opportunity for tip of the spear instruction in extended pain relief through ultrasound guided regional anesthesia techniques. Gain hands-on experience and grow your anesthesia knowledge through this blended didactic and hands on ultrasound workshop. Twin Oaks offers the most recent and up-to-date ultrasound instruction available. Market value for this type of course from Twin Oaks is $600, so we are thrilled to be able to bring this training to our New York and Connecticut members free of charge. A light dinner will be included. Professional growth through ultrasound is expected but no CEs can be offered. Open to AANA Member CRNAs with Full-Conference registration.
