Spring Hybrid Courses-tentative

OLLI’s Spring semester will launch our pilot hybrid courses. These courses are designed with the future in mind. Our instructors would like to offer a few seats inperson in the classroom with additional “seating” available virtually. We would like to ask that you indicate whether or not you are interested by placing yourself on the add to Wait List/Stand-by List. We will contact those of you who place yourself on the list and determine who is interested to meet in-person and who is interested in meeting virtually. If we have a great deal of interest meeting in-person we will have lottery. We will keep in close contact with the Instructors and work to schedule when the interest and timing is right. Although these courses will not be scheduled until safer conditions prevail, anyone who is interested and signs up will be required to fill out OLLI’s COVID waiver form prior to attending.

HYBRID ONLY. Please add yourself to the Wait List/Stand-By list if you are interested in taking this course. We will monitor the list to gauge member interest. The instructor, member interest and current UVA-approved-social distancing circumstances will drive whether or not a hybrid course is scheduled for spring 2021.

*Our hybrid courses will offer in-person and virtual attendance options. In-person seating will be limited and will follow all current safety procedures. Due to limited seating if there is a great deal of interest in meeting in-person we will have a lottery for in-person seats.

While You Were Sleeping: What Really Happens During Anesthesia (WELL002)

Instructor: Robert Bedford
Course Description:
General anesthesia for surgery was first demonstrated successfully in 1847. Over the ensuing century and three quarters there have been many leaps in understanding of new agents and new modalities for ensuring patients' well-being during surgery. This course will give a historical overview leading up to the present and, hopefully, will make you feel safer undergoing an operation today than you would have last year.
