We do a pretty good job of teaching regional fellows where to put the needle and take excellent care of patients.
But then...
They graduate and are suddenly expected to just figure it out.
The decision-making. The competing priorities in a busy OR. The real-world judgment. Navigating conversations with surgeons and administrators. What to do when things go wrong.
That gap is real.
So we built a meeting around it. Just for fellows.

So proud of our fellow Dr. Katrina Bantis on her ASRA fellow travel award for her research project! 🙌
What happens when you mix arts and crafts with sterility? FAST Kits presented by block-star fellow Katrina Bantis says 🙅♀️no pre-prepping kits unless you like contamination 🦠 #ASRASPRING2026 @AmandaKumarMD @Duke_Anesthesia @ASRA_Society @wmbullockMDPhD @_Stephen_Davies @docmorne
