KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Dr. Carlos Xavier Moreno is double-boarded in Anesthesia and Non-Surgical Pain Management (NSPM-C). Xavier has been a highly passionate healthcare provider since 1993, after enlisting in the US Military. He credits his passion and “esprit de corps” for leadership, evidence-based medicine, and thirst for knowledge from his military service. Experiences in healthcare led him to obtain multiple advanced degrees and national certifications in critical care nursing (CCRN: Critical Care National Certification, Cardiac Medicine Certification, Cardiac Surgery Certification, Fundamentals of Critical Care Support). After becoming a nationally certified critical care nurse, Xavier attended Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science for Nurse Anesthesia. Xavier was selected by his peers to be the Class President and then upon graduation received the “Agatha Hodgins Award Winner, Outstanding Nurse Anesthesia Student”. Since becoming board-certified in Nurse Anesthesiology, Xavier has become a recognized expert in ultrasound-guided regional Anesthesia and has been the primary investigator in various studies regarding peripheral nerve blocks and education, leading to a Doctor of Anesthesia Practice Degree (DrAP) from the University of Michigan-Flint. Xavier completed an Interventional Pain externship with Premiere Pain Management in 2020/2021. Currently, Dr Moreno is pursuing a second advanced pain fellowship through the University of South Florida (2022).
