We are what we make: transforming research in anesthesiology: the 45th Rovenstine Lecture.

摘要

THIS lectureship honors Emery Andrew Rovenstine, who was a distinguished anesthesiologist, Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology, New York University Medical Center and Director of Anesthesia, Bellevue Hospital, a founder and past president of the American Board of Anesthesiology, past president of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), and recipient of the Society's 1957 Distinguished Service Award. The Rovenstine Lecture was established in 1962 and today is the 45th commemorative lecture. I did not know Dr. Rovenstine, but I have read his writings. Let me sum him up as an extraordinary early leader in anesthesiology whose lifetime of service had an enormous impact on our specialty and does to this day. I hope you all understand the privilege it is to give a lecture in his honor.
