Welcome Message

Since its inception as a research society in 2014 and its official establishment as an academic society in 2016, the Korean Society of Regional Anesthesia (KSRA) has grown rapidly through the dissemination of ultrasound techniques and diverse academic activities. The 5th executive committee is committed to ensuring the continued development of the society.

The field of regional anesthesia encompasses a wide range of areas, including nerve blocks, perioperative medicine, PoCUS, pain management, and sedation. We aim to expand educational opportunities and create a platform to support extensive research activities in these domains. Furthermore, we will carefully address and strive to improve the related reimbursement system.

Education through workshops is at the heart of KSRA’s mission. We will work to further enhance and diversify educational programs to meet the evolving needs of our members.

Notably, KSRA is set to host the 2026 Asian & Oceanic Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine (AOSRA-PM) international conference. This event will facilitate international exchanges and contribute significantly to the advancement of our society.

We sincerely ask for your continued support and encouragement. Thank you.
