    On behalf of the Minnesota Society of Anesthesiologists (MSA) Education Committee and the entire MSA Board of Directors, we invite you to join us for this year’s MSA Annual Conference, held September 27-28, 2025, at the Radisson Blu Mall of America. This year’s theme is, “Clinical Controversies in Anesthesia” and includes many engaging speakers in a variety of learning formats including lectures, resident oral presentation sessions, problem based learning discussions (PBLDs), and a hands-on workshop.

    We are looking forward to seeing you all in September! To keep effective facilitator-to-participant ratios, our PBLDs and hands-on workshops will have a limited number of participant slots available, so make sure to register early!
