Its 2025 gathering brought together 1,010 participants, including 468 physicians and 346 trainees. That balance gives the meeting a teaching dimension alongside specialist debate: clinicians developing a block service share the program with residents, fellows and the companies supplying its equipment.

Ultrasound is central, but the discussion goes beyond locating a nerve. Hands-on workshops, live block demonstrations and problem-based learning connect technique with patient experience, pharmacology and the organization of perioperative care. Point-of-care ultrasound extends the imaging conversation into assessment and decision-making. The American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine provides the professional home for a meeting where difficult cases and competing approaches can be examined with faculty who work in the same subspecialty.

ASRA Annual Pain Medicine Meeting is the natural alternative when the problem continues beyond acute recovery. The fall program covers neuromodulation, advanced interventions, emerging analgesics and opioid management, with clinic reimbursement and team development alongside clinical education. Its Tampa gathering serves practitioners balancing treatment choices with the operation of a pain practice. The spring meeting gives perioperative teams more concentrated attention to regional blocks, acute analgesia and ultrasound.

ANESTHESIOLOGY places those questions inside the wider anesthesia specialty. ASA’s annual October meeting in San Diego combines clinical tracks, research, an extensive exhibition and professional networks that extend across anesthesia practice. A department comparing monitoring, staffing and broader clinical priorities can address several needs there. ASRA spring is a more focused setting for working through block techniques, POCUS and the limits of regional anesthesia with a subspecialty community.

The choice depends on the service being developed. A chronic pain clinic has a reason to follow ASRA’s fall program; a department assessing the wider anesthesia workplace can use ASA’s breadth. Teams building regional anesthesia and acute pain pathways have a clearer clinical center of gravity at ASRA spring.

ASRA spring suits clinicians building regional anesthesia and acute pain services who want practical ultrasound teaching alongside a close discussion of clinical choices.

Who exhibits

Recent exhibitors include Fujifilm Sonosite, GE Healthcare and Mindray, reflecting the importance of ultrasound to block placement and perioperative assessment. B. Braun Medical and PAJUNK Medical Systems bring the needles, catheters and delivery equipment used around those procedures, while Pacira BioSciences represents the pharmaceutical side of analgesia. The mix connects imaging, procedural supplies and medicines with the clinicians who put them into a regional anesthesia service.

52nd Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting 2027

The 2027 Houston program broadens regional anesthesia’s role in modern medicine. James Kim and Ashley Shilling introduce a space-themed program that combines an opening expert debate with sessions on introducing new regional anesthesia services and managing difficult cases. Live demonstrations of high-yield blocks sit alongside POCUS and regional anesthesia pharmacology. Curated ultrasound workshops and small-group Problem-Based Learning Sessions provide the practical counterpart to the plenary discussions, while the closing pro-con debates put competing clinical assumptions under scrutiny.

  • Use the live high-yield block demonstrations to identify techniques to explore in the curated hands-on ultrasound workshops.
  • For a service-development question, connect the ‘From Launch Pad to Liftoff’ discussion with a Problem-Based Learning Session to examine how the clinical approach fits your service.
  • Keep POCUS sessions in view if your ultrasound work extends from block placement to perioperative assessment.
