Stanford Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA) Course

Monday, August 4, 2025, 7:30 AM - 5:15 PM, Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge (LKSC), Palo Alto, CA

This course is designed to meet the American Board of Anesthesiology requirements for anesthesia delivery providers. The course offers hands-on practice related to current techniques, diagnosis, and treatment of difficult anesthesia cases, as well as teamwork in crises through Crisis Resource Management (CRM) training. By participating in scripted simulations scenarios, physicians have the opportunity to hone their skills in the diagnosis and management of critical events. The scenarios capture serious events that are common, as well as some that are rare. It allows them to practice managing these cases efficiently, as well as gaining the opportunity to practice how to deal with those rare and serious events that they may not have seen in their careers. The debriefing session affords a valuable opportunity for reflection and encourages participants to make changes to their own practice. This is reinforced by the Practice Improvement Plan (PIP) that they generate in response to what they have learned. Scenarios may feature either an adult or a pediatric patient, and require the participant to demonstrate the identification and management of acute events.
