The mission of the subcommittee is to advance the practice of anesthesia and acute pain through research and educational opportunities and ensure the specialties maintain a strong presence on Capitol Hill and other local government organizations.

“I am excited to be given this opportunity to serve on such a well known and respected medical committee,” said Provenzano. “I’m looking forward to the opportunities I’ll have to be an advocate for anesthesia and acute pain.”

Dr. Provenzano’s appointment to the subcommittee will become effective at the close of the 2009 American Society of Anesthesiologists Annual Meeting in New Orleans on October 17-21, 2009.

Dr. Provenzano will also be a feature presenter at the annual meeting. He’ll present topics on Fluroscopic versus Ultrasound Views for Chronic Pain and the Management of Continuous Peripheral Nerve Catheters from Placement to Removal for Acute Pain Management following Outpatient Surgery.
