Pediatric Anesthesia Morbidity and Mortality Conference

Occurs monthly on the 1st Monday starting on 11/10/2025 at 6:30 AM
Monday, November 10, 2025, 6:30 AM - 7:30 AM PT, Stanford Children's Health, Palo Alto, CA

Pediatric anesthesiologists at LPCH routinely care for very fragile and medically complex children of all ages. This series provides a platform for open discussion of high-acuity cases allowing for educational growth for all attendees, including experienced attending anesthesiologists as well as our pediatric anesthesia fellows. This open and collaborative discussion allows for presenters and attendees to discuss richly educational cases in a receptive and non-punitive way. Its goal is to enrich the learning of all attendees and to equip us all with additional knowledge and situational awareness for critical events in the operating room that we are all likely to encounter during our careers.
