The 2025 meeting will bring together multiple anesthesiology residency programs from the Western United States, offering a unique opportunity for residents, students, and fellows to present their work, including original research, quality improvement projects, and medically challenging cases. The conference also provides excellent networking opportunities for anesthesia trainees, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals.
About WARC
The Western Anesthesia Residents Conference (WARC) was founded in 1962 by Dr. Edmond “Ted” Eger II, renowned anesthesiologist and scientist who pioneered the development of modern inhaled anesthetics. The conference is held annually to give anesthesiology residents and medical students an opportunity to present their research, and is hosted by anesthesia departments in the Western United States. To honor Dr. Eger for his contributions, WARC has named an annual lectureship in his honor.
