NYSORA Boot Camps

Beyond Simulation

Step Inside a Working Regional Anesthesia Service.
Two days. Real patients. Real clinical decisions.

Join NYSORA faculty in a busy hospital environment and experience how regional anesthesia is practiced, organized, and delivered in real time.

Follow real patient cases, observe ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, and learn how experienced clinicians make decisions, coordinate patient care, and use parallel processing to keep operating rooms running efficiently.

Go home with more than improved nerve block knowledge. Learn practical strategies to strengthen regional anesthesia services at your own hospital.

Program highlights:

  • 2 Days — Immersive hospital-based learning
  • Maximum 5 Delegates — Personalized access to NYSORA faculty
  • Real Clinical Practice — Patients, procedures, teamwork, and workflow

Learn Regional Anesthesia Where It Happens — In the Operating Room

Go beyond lectures and simulations. Experience regional anesthesia in real clinical practice.
NYSORA Boot Camps bring you inside a working hospital, where you'll learn alongside experienced faculty as they manage real patients and perform ultrasound-guided nerve blocks.

In a small-group setting, you'll follow the entire clinical process—from patient assessment and block selection to ultrasound-guided procedures and perioperative management.

You'll learn how experienced clinicians:
  • Select the most appropriate nerve block for each patient and procedure.
  • Interpret ultrasound anatomy and adapt techniques to real clinical situations.
  • Apply practical strategies for safe, effective, and efficient nerve blocks.
  • Make clinical decisions, troubleshoot challenges, and manage unexpected situations.

Every patient case becomes an opportunity to ask questions, understand the reasoning behind clinical decisions, and connect knowledge with practice.

The goal? Return to your hospital with practical insights, refined clinical judgment, and greater confidence in your regional anesthesia practice.

Clinical Immersion: Regional Anesthesia in Action

Morning | Join the Regional Anesthesia Team

Clinical Sessions | Learn From Real Patient Cases

Follow NYSORA faculty through ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia procedures and perioperative care.

Observe ultrasound scanning, anatomical interpretation, and nerve block techniques.

Understand how block selection is individualized for patients and procedures.

Discuss local anesthetic selection, injection safety, and procedural decision-making.

Learn how experienced clinicians recognize and troubleshoot clinical challenges.

Throughout the Day | Experience Parallel Processing

Discover how a regional anesthesia service operates efficiently while maintaining patient safety.

See how patient preparation, nerve block procedures, operating room turnover, and postoperative care are coordinated—often simultaneously—to minimize delays and improve patient flow.

End of Day | Case Discussions and Clinical Debrief

Review key clinical lessons, discuss alternative approaches, and identify practices you can implement in your own institution.

From Nerve Blocks to an Efficient Regional Anesthesia Service

Clinical Immersion | Building on Day 1

Continue learning alongside NYSORA faculty through new patient cases, anatomical variations, and clinical challenges. Compare techniques and understand how anesthetic plans adapt to different surgical and patient requirements.

Behind the Scenes | How a Regional Anesthesia Service Works

Go beyond individual procedures to understand the organization of an effective regional anesthesia program.

Patient selection, scheduling, and preoperative preparation.

Parallel processing and coordination with operating room teams.

Standardized nerve block protocols and safety practices.

Equipment preparation, team responsibilities, and communication.

Strategies for minimizing delays and improving patient throughput.

Interactive Learning | From Observation to Practical Application

Consolidate your learning through faculty discussions, ultrasound scanning and simulation practice where available, and practical case-based decision-making.

Final Debrief | Bringing NYSORA Practices to Your Hospital

Discuss how to translate the clinical techniques, standardized workflows, and organizational lessons into your own practice.

The goal: Leave with more than improved regional anesthesia knowledge—gain practical insights into building a safer, more efficient regional anesthesia service.

The Boot Camp Experience: Beyond Nerve Blocks

Two days immersed in a working regional anesthesia service. Real patients. Real clinical decisions. Real teamwork.

At NYSORA Boot Camps, you become an observer within an experienced regional anesthesia team, following the daily clinical workflow from patient assessment and block selection to ultrasound-guided procedures and perioperative care.

But the learning goes well beyond performing individual nerve blocks. You'll experience firsthand:

  • Clinical decision-making: How experienced anesthesiologists select and adapt regional anesthesia techniques for individual patients.
  • Hands-on learning: Ultrasound scanning, simulation practice, and interactive teaching with NYSORA faculty.
  • Parallel processing: How patient preparation, nerve blocks, and operating room activities are coordinated to maximize efficiency.
  • Building a regional anesthesia service: How standardized protocols, teamwork, and communication improve patient flow and clinical care.

Throughout the program, NYSORA's 5-Step Approach to Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia provides a structured framework for understanding and applying the techniques you observe.
Take home more than nerve block knowledge. Learn how to organize and deliver a safe, efficient regional anesthesia service in your own hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions

Considering a NYSORA Boot Camp? Here's What You Need to Know.

NYSORA’s Ultrasound-Guided Anesthesia Boot Camps are structured around real clinical practice. Attendees join the NYSORA faculty in the hospital setting, observing and learning during live patient care. Each day typically begins with case discussions and planning, followed by morning and afternoon blocks of clinical observation, where participants see multiple ultrasound-guided procedures performed in real time.

During a boot camp, participants can expect to observe up to 40 ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia procedures performed by the NYSORA team. This immersive exposure gives attendees a unique opportunity to see how techniques are applied in daily patient care, across a wide range of clinical indications.

Boot camps are intentionally kept very small, with a maximum of 5 participants per session. This ensures a close instructor-to-participant ratio, allowing attendees to ask questions freely, receive personal guidance, and learn directly alongside NYSORA faculty in a real clinical environment.

No. Unlike symposiums, summits, and CME-accredited workshops, the boot camps are not CME accredited. Instead, they are designed as exclusive clinical immersion experiences where participants gain direct observational training and insight into real-world practice.

The registration fee covers the educational experience only. Lodging, transportation, and meals are not included. Participants will receive guidance on nearby accommodations and travel recommendations upon registration to help plan their stay.

Cancellations must be made in writing to [email protected]. The standard policy is:

  • More than 30 days before the boot camp: 50% refund of fees paid.
  • Within 30 days of the event: no refund available.

Rebooking to a future boot camp may be possible depending on availability, but is not guaranteed. Please review the cancellation policy on the event page for details.

Yes. Registered participants are encouraged to review NYSORA’s Regional Anesthesia Manual and NYSORA 360 platform before attending. These resources provide foundational knowledge in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, ensuring that participants arrive familiar with the techniques they will see applied in clinical practice.

Absolutely. Boot camps are especially valuable for anesthesia residents, fellows, and early-career anesthesiologists who want to accelerate their understanding of ultrasound-guided procedures. The small-group, real-patient setting allows learners at all levels to benefit from close exposure to expert practice.

Yes. Attendees receive access to selected digital resources and educational content through NYSORA’s online platforms, supporting continued learning after the event. Alumni are also part of the broader NYSORA educational community, with opportunities to stay connected, attend future events, and build on the skills gained during the boot camp.
