BeSARPP | Online BeSARPP Graduation Day

Online BeSARPP Graduation Day 2021

WELCOME

Dear Residents (Past, Current and Future)

You are really important for the future of our medical specialty in Belgium.

For this very reason, the BeSARPP (the society that promotes Anesthesiology as a medical science) organizes a yearly event dedicated to honor your enthusiasm and commitment before and during your residency: the ‘Graduation Meeting’.

During this ‘Graduation Meeting’, you will get the unique opportunity to share your scientific work (Masterworks, abstracts presented at international congresses, resident work) not only with your colleagues of other universities but also with the anesthesiologists from hospitals, your potential future employers.

On this occasion, a number of prizes will be awarded to the various competitors including the brave one who submitted case reports for the new electronic section of the Acta Anasthesiologica Belgica.

In 2021, the BeSARPP Graduation Day will be held online on 19 June.

Vera Saldien – BeSARPP President

A statement indicating the author has followed the appropriate EQUATOR guidelines should be included in the Methods section (Example: “This manuscript adheres to the applicable CONSORT guidelines.”).
