Pediatric Regional Anesthesia Boutique Workshop

Organiser: NYSORA

Why you should attend

This workshop is structured to improve your pediatric regional anesthesia skills. You will learn both the principles of practice, useful acute pain, and regional anesthesia pediatric protocols. Hands-on practice, including scanning techniques on children will equip participants with practical skills and knowledge, addressing the current disparities in pediatric pain management.

With the rising relevance and clinical importance of regional anesthesia it is imperative to recognise and implement all of it’s benefits in the pediatric population. It is well established that RA in children offers superior perioperative analgesia, reduces use of opioids, and in select cases completely eliminates the need for general anesthesia.

Your registration for the NYSORA Pediatric Regional Anesthesia Boutique Workshop includes a complimentary 03-month subscription to the Regional Anesthesia Manual (a $100 value), an interactive educational experience on NYSORA 360.

This immersive platform is built on NYSORA’s best-selling textbooks and features crystal-clear illustrations, clinical videos, and practical insights for everyday application. Designed for fast, focused learning and continuously updated to reflect current clinical practices, it’s an essential tool for every anesthesia professional.

Workshop Highlights

  • Alternating lecture–practice structure for maximum learning retention
  • Small-group, live-model ultrasound scanning
  • Real-world pediatric case discussions
  • Safe dosing and adaptation principles for neonates and children

I am very appreciative of having joined this workshop. I found it very useful as an introduction to pediatric locoregional anesthesia. It made me realize that this is such an amazing adjuvants of which I have not seen a lot of use in my relatively short amount of clinical experience. Thank you for such an educational event!

Relevant information

The NYSORA Pediatric Regional Anesthesia Workshop, Leuven, Belgium 10/10/2026 – 11/10/2026, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 9.0 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications.

What is a CME activity? A Continuing Medical Education(CME) activity serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession.

Why do physicians need continuing medical education (CME) credit? Physicians use CME credit to demonstrate that they have participated in educational activities and obtained CME credit to document meeting the requirements of state medical boards, medical specialty societies, specialty boards, hospital medical staffs, the Joint Commission, insurance groups, and others

Who accredits the Course? Accreditation by the EACCME means that the CME/CPD activity provided is of high scientific value, is free of commercial bias and promotes active adult learning. This is of paramount importance to doctors who need to report to their National Accreditation Authority on their CME/CPD activity over a certain period of time, and this even more now that many national systems are (becoming) mandatory and not voluntary. By attending an EACCME accredited event, they will be able to obtain European CME credits (ECMEC) which are recognised not only in a majority of European countries (with which the EACCME has signed agreements), but also in the USA and Canada. By handing in their EACCME certificate to their National Accreditation Authority, their credits will automatically be recognised and converted into national credits.

What documentation does a physician receive for participating in a certified CME activity provided by an accredited CME provider? A CME certificate will be issued and can be used to prove attendance.
