The Anesthesiology Interest Group (AIG) will endeavor to educate students about the exciting profession of anesthesiology from a perspective that is not covered within the medical school curriculum. In doing so, the Louisiana State University School of Medicine AIG will offer discussions on topics pertinent to the field, maintain a mentorship program, and offer “hands-on” experiences to learn about procedures and skills commonly utilized in the profession of anesthesiology.
Membership
Any student enrolled at LSU New Orleans School of Medicine may be a member.Membership provides the student access to all activities and opportunities provided by the interest group.There will be no dues collected for membership unless future presidents deem this action necessary or beneficial to the interest group.
Activities
The Anesthesiology Interest Group will hold at least three annual meetings, to include but not limited to an introduction to the field of anesthesiology, a panel of residents and/or fellows, and a final meeting regarding matching in anesthesiology.
Workshops will be established to provide students more opportunity for learning airway management, also to include further workshops on obstetric, regional, and pain anesthesia.
All interested students will be provided with an L4 mentor to guide them through the process of matching in anesthesiology.
