Missouri Resident Delegates Reflect on Attending ASA Annual Meeting
"I am incredibly thankful to the Missouri Society of Anesthesiologists for the opportunity to represent our state in the Resident House of Delegates at the ASA National Conference.
Participating in governance firsthand showed me how essential advocacy is across all practice environments. Whether addressing private practice sustainability, scope of practice, or community-based patient care, active participation ensures that our collective voice guides the decisions that impact our daily work.
What made this experience especially memorable was the strong camaraderie across all career stages. Engaging with experienced attendings and welcoming enthusiastic medical students highlighted the strength and unity of our community. I returned home re-energized and proud to be part of a forward-thinking specialty dedicated to advocating for both our patients and our profession."

"I had a wonderful time attending Anesthesiology 2026 and sincerely appreciate the support of the Missouri Society of Anesthesiologists which made my participation possible. It was an incredible opportunity to witness medical students, residents, fellows, and attending anesthesiologists from across the country come together to learn, collaborate, and advocate for the field of anesthesiology. Participating in the Resident House of Delegates was a great experience, as it allowed me to better appreciate the importance of resident engagement, leadership, and advocacy in the field of anesthesiology. Being a part of such a remarkable conference left me feeling even more grateful for my decision to pursue anesthesiology. I returned to my home institution feeling more motivated to remain actively involved in our specialty and advocate for the interests of current and future anesthesiologists."

Missouri Medical Student Delegate Reflects on Attending ASA Annual Meeting
"This month, I had the opportunity to attend ASA 2026 and MSA Night in San Diego, CA, where I connected with physicians, residents, and fellow medical students. As this was my first ASA conference, I was impressed by the well-organized event and appreciated the variety of educational sessions and the residency open house fair tailored to medical students. It was an invaluable experience to talk to PDs and current residents to get a feel for the culture, values, and training rigors at their respective programs. As part of my professional development, I also had the opportunity to present an eposter alongside a physician mentor from Children’s Mercy Kansas City. It was an absolute pleasure to represent Kansas City University COM’s Kansas City campus at the Medical Student House of Delegates, where I learned more about upcoming initiatives, events, and the work of the student governing council and its committees, which I would love to share with my school’s AIG. Through conversations with fellow medical students and residents, I felt a huge sense of comradery as we are all so passionate about this field and the enthusiastic energy of the conference made me very excited to explore further about this career. I am super grateful to MSA for their sponsorship to support this experience for me."
