About WCA

The World Congress of Anaesthesiologists® (WCA) takes place every four years and the 15th WCA will be held at La Rural, Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 25 – 30 March 2012.

The 15th WFSA World Congress of Anaesthesiologists® (WCA) will be the benchmark for best practice in Anaesthesiology in 2012.  Building on an established history, it is the major international exposition of the speciality of anaesthesia and its many related disciplines.

The congress will be constructed to ensure it is inclusive on an educational, logistical and financial basis for developed and developing nations.  The congress will feature a broad and thoroughly up-to-date educational programme of the highest quality, delivered by a faculty of outstanding key opinion leaders from all over the world.  The breadth of the educational programme will ensure topics of interest to all levels of anaesthesiologists and practitioners in related fields.  The programme will be a combination of academic-style lectures, presentations  coupled with hands-on workshops and interactive debates to allow participants the flexibility to build an itinerary that suits their personal training needs.  The inclusion of multiple poster sessions will open up the possibility of an active role in the programme for a large number of participants.

The working language of the congress is English but simultaneous translation into Spanish will be provided for some selected sessions.  It is also anticipated that some of the workshop sessions will be presented in Spanish as well as in English.
