From itsinception, the mission of NWAC is to provide an uncompromising educational and nations-bridgingplatform. The NWAC World Anesthesia Congress is one of the most comprehensive meetings in thediscipline of anesthesiology. Each congress is comprised of over 300 didactic sessions on just aboutevery aspect of anesthesia, intensive care, emergency medicine, and perioperative nursing practice.The learning tracks allow for a multitude of formats, including refresher courses, clinical forums,

problem-based learning discussions (PBLDs), workshops, panels, and hands-on practice. NWAC is structured as a thought-pro-voking program, presenting both clinical and industry new developments, comprehensive reviews, and debates on controversieson a wide variety of highly relevant topics. Importantly, the programs are delivered by some of the most energetic, forward-thinking,and renowned faculty members from around the globe. The scope of the educational sessions is vast; however, each track is care-fully crafted to offer educational opportunities for practitioners at wide levels of expertise, from students, trainees, and residents tothe thought leaders of the specialty. Whichever program appears the most suitable for your educational needs, you can rest assu-red that at the NWAC 2011 Rome you will learn the latest from the greatest teachers and practitioners in the field and come backhome inspired to apply what you have learned to your practice.

From its inception, the NWAC World Anesthesia Congress is called as the Peoples Meeting. As the N in NWAC indicates theNetworking, a crucial element to the mission of NWAC events. Accordingly, the NWAC 2011 Rome will offer an unprecedentednetworking opportunity for practitioners, trainees, researchers, and industry representatives. Innovative networking tools andsophisticated social programs during NWAC 2011 Rome will allow participants multiple opportunities to meet and exchange ideas,questions, and information with colleagues and instructors around the world who share similar passions for medicine, the arts,and global networking.

The 2011 World Anesthesia Congress will take place in an incredible city - Rome. The citys undisputed glory indulge over itsseven hills, with a skyline of spires and domes casting a shadow over the inspiring ruins of antiquity. To get the feel for the splendidvibe and history of this ancient town, you can start the exploration with a stroll through the ruins of the Roman forum, then re-livethe gruesome spectacle of bloody gladiator battles in the nearby Coliseum, and take a look inside the 2nd-century AD Pantheon.Alternatively, join the throngs in St. Peters Square and then marvel at Michelangelos frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. You cancross the River Tiber and wander through the landscaped park of Villa Borghese to the Galleria Borghese to experience Bernini'sBaroque sculpture and Raphaels canvases close up. Finally, you can head back to the Centro Storico to visit Romes splendidsquares and fountains: Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna, and Piazza Navona. Whether you spend the day roaming in OldTown or stay focused on the multitude of NWAC 2011 Rome program sessions, be sure to stop by and see the Who-is-Who inAnesthesiology at the NWAC Melting Pot before concluding the day. In keeping with the mission to provide a nations-bridgingplatform devoid of international and professional society politics, NWAC presents evening entertainment, the NWAC Melting Pot.The atmosphere in the nightly featured Melting Pot, at a conveniently located night club, will allow the melting together of alldelegates into a harmonious, common professional culture with cultural and professional assimilation.

PROBLEM-BASED LEARNINGDISCUSSIONS (PBLD)

WHAT IS A PBLD?

PBLD-Problem Based Learning Discussions- are 45 minutes long sessions presented during the lunch break (12:30-13:30).

PBLDs are presented by faculty with specific interest and clinical experience in the topics they are presenting.

The PBLDs follow an open discussion format in which the faculty after an introduction to the attendees will deliver

a presentation on the topic and raise several questions for discussion and input by the attendees. These presentations will

not feature traditional slide presentations (although the faculty may elect to use own laptop, prints or other material).

The attendees are encouraged to ask questions throughout the presentation as well as contribute to the discussion with own

knowledge and clinical experience which, naturally, may vary among institutions and geographical areas.

PBLDs are truly a unique opportunity for attendees to get to know experts in the field, learn valuable practice tips through

the discussions as well as create lasting friendships and academic connections.

PBLD sessions require separate registration; please see the registration page for more information.
