We’re proud to share that Dr. Zimmerman recently represented the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) at the 2025 COPA (Congresso Paulista de Anestesiologia) meeting in São Paulo, Brazil!
Held April 24–27, 2025 COPA is one of the largest and most respected anesthesiology conferences in Latin America. While the ASA President is typically invited to speak at the event, this year organizers requested a focused discussion on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). In response, the ASA invited Dr. Zimmerman to speak on behalf of the organization.
Dr. Zimmerman delivered two expert talks—one on rescue echocardiography and another on the broader applications of POCUS in anesthesiology. He also met with Brazilian anesthesia leadership to discuss the future of ultrasound training and practice on a global scale.
We’re grateful for Dr. Zimmerman’s leadership and honored to see our department represented on the international stage!
