VOLUME 30, ISSUE 1

We are excited to announce the debut of the Texas Society of Anesthesiologists Resident Component (TSARC)! At the 2016 TSA Annual Meeting, a group of residents, medical students, and two faculty advisors met to discuss the concept of a Resident Component. Thanks to the efforts led by Dr. Henry Huang (BCM) and Dr. Sarah Ellis (UTH) in creating the bylaws for the society we were able to hold our first officer election at the 2017 TSA Annual Meeting. Our bylaws will be formally voted on at the January TSA Executive Board meeting.

Our goal is to inspire residents and medical students across the state to get involved in the TSA, participate in advocacy, and have an increased awareness of the issues affecting our specialty. We hope to have resident delegates/ambassadors from each of the residency programs represented at the Annual TSARC meeting, held at the Annual TSA Meeting.

We would like to tailor the content at the TSA Annual Meeting to the needs of the residents and expand on the topics that would help residents navigate through residency and beyond. There are a multitude of opportunities for residents to get involved in the field of anesthesiology. Please join us in working together to secure our future.
