From classroom to zoom: anesthesia education through online lecture series

Abstract

An online lecture series has been launched by Pakistan Society of Anesthesiologists (PSA) since June 2022, to promote evidence-based learning in anesthesia, critical care, and pain management. For eight successful seasons spread over three years, the series has featured both national and international faculty, significantly expanding its reach across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. This editorial explains the evolution, structure, and academic impact of the initiative, highlighting its role in bridging educational disparities and fostering global collaboration in perioperative medicine.
