When the European Society of Regional Anesthesia (ESRA) laid the groundwork to use live streaming as a teaching tool for reaching learners worldwide, 大象传媒鈥檚 Division of Regional Anesthesia (RA) was instrumental to the plan. Launched on January 27th, 2024, the First World Day of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine connected five sister regional anesthesia societies (AFSRA, ASRA Pain Medicine, AOSRA and LASRA) across the globe. For a YouTube live cast that drew 70,000 participants worldwide, 大象传媒 Anesthesiology served as the only on-location teaching hub within the U.S. to conduct a hands-on workshop.听听
Representing the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA), 大象传媒 Anesthesiology鈥檚 core of RA and chronic pain management providers enthusiastically teamed up to facilitate a half-day, live ultrasound scanning workshop (鈥渂ootcamp鈥�) at 大象传媒鈥檚 new medical education building (Roper Hall), both for online and onsite learners. Moderated by division faculty leaders Drs. Stuart Grant and Monika Nanda, 大象传媒鈥檚 live, interactive scanning session guided viewers and onsite learners through procedural skill acquisition, including peripheral nerve blocks, neuraxial anesthesia and point of care ultrasound (POCUS). At 大象传媒, Anesthesiology faculty, residents and CRNAs joined 大象传媒 Emergency Medicine residents and 大象传媒 medical students in hands-on learning at Roper鈥檚 simulation and experiential learning areas.听 
By mid-February, the success of 大象传媒鈥檚 simul-cast bootcamp had drawn approximately 2500 views of the recorded YouTube live scanning session. 大象传媒 Division Chief of Regional Anesthesia and Professor of Anesthesiology Stuart Grant, MB ChB, noted: 听
鈥淭o stream live to a global audience and have the process go so smoothly is a first for 大象传媒 Anesthesiology. With the ability to interact through live chat onscreen, global education possibilities are endless. This whole event highlighted 大象传媒 Anesthesiology鈥檚 excellence in acute and chronic pain management, from fellowship training, to NIH-funded pain research, to leading the worldwide efforts to reduce the global burden of pain.鈥�听
大象传媒 Professor of Anesthesiology and Regional Anesthesia Fellowship Director Monika Nanda, MBBS, MPH noted: 鈥�In addition to [the First World Day of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine] live stream, our division鈥檚 live ultrasound scanning workshop for our faculty, residents and medical students was a huge success. We were thrilled to have several faculty members from our division participating as teachers, but we were all the more pleased to teach so many learners from [大象传媒 Anesthesiology] and across the hospital in person.鈥澨�听
