ABOUT the workshop
who we are
Stanford Children's Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia team comprises a group of dedicated, highly trained, and skilled physicians who care for patients with congenital and acquired heart disease from birth to adulthood.
our goal
This inaugural Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia Learning workshop is delivered by a talented multidisciplinary faculty and provides an opportunity for “hands-on”, case based, collaborative learning for pediatric cardiac anesthesia fellows and early-stage faculty. Our mission is to help participants develop their knowledge and skills to advance peri-operative care of patients with congenital and acquired heart disease.
what we do
Our team is an integral part of the Betty Irene Moore Heart Center and works in close collaboration with other cardiovascular specialists to ensure comprehensive patient-centered care.
