Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia Boutique Workshop (Weehawken, NJ) – Registration Closed
Why you should attend?
This is NYSORA’s fabled, most popular workshop on ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia!
This 2-day course will not only teach you technical skills, and technique updates but also provide you with the information on why, when, and what’s next! It will inspire you to implement more US-guided techniques in your practice.
Delegates attending the regional boutique workshop will be taught standardized techniques and protocols endorsed by NYSORA key opinion leaders worldwide. Faculty selected for the workshops are some of the best instructors and clinicians recognized for their expertise in regional anesthesia. They will present a consistent, agreed-upon NYSORA format that offers the clearest possible instruction. Group numbers are kept small to maximise the learning experience. Ample time for hands-on practice on live models and simulators.
Registration includes 6 months complimentary access to the NYSORA Compendium of Regional Anesthesia.
Our venues are carefully selected for ease of access, location to major transport hubs, close proximity to the city and attractions, inspiring views and first-rate equipment, for the best possible experience.
This workshop not only teaches you the technical skills (i.e. the how). The Boutique workshop gives you all that PLUS the why, the when and the what’s next.

Relevant information
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
How are CME credits tracked for physicians? There is no centralized tracking of AMA PRA credits. Each accredited CME provider is required to keep records of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ claimed by physicians who participate in their activities for six years from the date of completion of the activity. Because credits may be obtained from a variety of accredited CME providers, physicians should maintain a record of their CME credits from all sources.
What documentation does a physician receive for participating in a certified CME activity provided by an accredited CME provider? Accredited CME providers are required to make available documentation of credits claimed by physicians at their request, but there is no requirement for a specific type of documentation to be used. Many accredited CME providers will issue a credit certificate at the completion and evaluation of an activity.
Nurse Practitioners credit? The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) accept CME from organizations accredited by the ACCME.
In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and NYSORA. Postgraduate Institute for Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
Jointly provided by Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and NYSORA, the regional anesthesia boutique workshop is supported by an independent educational grant from Pacira Pharmaceuticals.
The Postgraduate Institute for Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 12.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
The maximum number of ANCC Nursing credit hours awarded for this Continuing Nursing Education activity is 12.5 contact hours. Pharmacotherapy contact hours for Advance Practice Registered Nurses will be designated on your certificate.
Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM) requires instructors, planners, managers and other individuals who are in a position to control the content of this activity to disclose any real or apparent conflict of interest (COI) they may have as related to the content of this activity. All identified COI are thoroughly vetted and resolved according to PIM policy. The existence or absence of COI for everyone in a position to control content will be disclosed to participants prior to the start of each activity.
