Samford University's Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing will host the annual Funderburg Lectureship Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Wynfrey Hotel in Birmingham. John O'Donnell, CRNA, MSN, an expert on anesthesia simulation from the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, will be the key speaker.

The Funderburg Lectureship is provided in concert with the Alabama Association of Nurse Anesthetist state meeting. The lectureship was established in 2003 in honor of Dr. Lonnie Funderburg, a Samford alumnus who served as the director of the Birmingham Baptist Hospitals Anesthesia Program for more two decades.
