VA Palo Alto ADAPT Regional Anesthesia Immersive Learning Center

This unique educational experience taught by expert faculty in a small group setting is designed for Stanford regional anesthesiology and acute pain medicine fellows who are learning to master basic and advanced ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques.  Fellows discuss practice management, learn to manage simulated crises such as local anesthetic systemic toxicity, and perform actual ultrasound-guided continuous peripheral nerve blocks at the VA Palo Alto’s state-of-the-art simulation center.
