Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our workshop programs
NYSORA offers two main types of educational events: Conferences and Workshops.
Conferences are CME-accredited anesthesia and pain conferences that range from large international meetings to focused Anesthesia & Pain Review programs in destination settings. These events feature expert-led lectures, clinical updates in regional anesthesia and pain management, and structured networking opportunities.
Workshops provide hands-on, small-group ultrasound-guided training in regional anesthesia, pain procedures, and POCUS. This section also includes our exclusive Boot Camps, immersive hospital-based clinical observation experiences.
For full agendas, CME details, and registration information, visit the specific event page.
To register, select the event directly from this All Events page. You can browse by choosing either Conferences or Workshops, or use the Agenda filter to search by location, date, or event type.
Once you open the specific event page, you’ll find online registration details, early-bird and standard pricing options, CME accreditation information (when applicable), and a clear breakdown of what’s included in your registration.
Depending on the event, registration may also include complimentary access to NYSORA’s Apps, such as NYSORA Nerve Blocks, Anesthesia Assistant, POCUS or the Ultrasound-Guided Pain App.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to the individual event page before completing your registration.
Many NYSORA anesthesia and pain conferences and selected hands-on workshops are CME accredited, allowing participants to earn recognized continuing medical education (CME) credits while advancing their clinical skills.
However, not all events offer CME. In particular, Boot Camps are not CME accredited. They are designed as exclusive, small-group clinical immersion experiences where participants observe live ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia procedures in a real hospital setting.
CME accreditation details - including the number of credits and accrediting body - are always listed on the individual event page. We recommend reviewing the specific event description before registering.
NYSORA hosts anesthesia and pain conferences and workshops in major cities around the world. Events take place across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, offering both international destinations and accessible regional locations.
Whether you’re looking for a large anesthesia conference or a focused regional anesthesia workshop, you can explore upcoming locations using the Agenda filter on this page, where events can be sorted by city, country, date, or event type.
Because locations vary each year, we recommend checking the event listing for the most current schedule and destination details.
Registration for a NYSORA anesthesia conference or hands-on workshop typically includes full access to the educational program—such as expert lectures, live demonstrations, case discussions, or practical ultrasound training sessions.
Participants also receive course materials, faculty-led instruction, and structured networking opportunities with peers and international experts in anesthesiology and pain management.
Many events include complimentary access to NYSORA’s Apps — such as NYSORA Nerve Blocks, Anesthesia Assistant, POCUS or the Ultrasound-Guided Pain App—to extend learning beyond the event.
Specific inclusions (meals, CME credits, digital access, etc.) are listed on each individual event page.
NYSORA Workshops focus on hands-on, small-group ultrasound-guided training in regional anesthesia, pain procedures, and POCUS. Participants spend the majority of their time practicing scanning techniques, refining procedural skills, and receiving direct faculty feedback. Workshops are designed for immediate clinical application.
Conferences, on the other hand, provide broader updates in anesthesiology and pain medicine through expert lectures, clinical reviews, and evidence-based discussions. Many follow a structured daily format that balances education with networking and destination-based experiences and live demonstrations.
In short:
Workshops = skill-building and hands-on ultrasound training
Conferences = clinical updates, CME education, and expert-led discussions.
Yes. Each NYSORA conference and workshop page includes a gallery featuring photos from previous events, highlighting faculty sessions, hands-on training, and participant interaction.
Some event pages also feature short videos that showcase the learning environment and overall experience - whether it’s a hands-on ultrasound workshop or a destination-based anesthesia conference.
These galleries help you preview the format and atmosphere before registering.

Please note that NYSORA cannot assume responsibility for personal injury, travel disruptions, or loss of personal belongings. Participants are strongly encouraged to arrange their own travel and health insurance.
