Certification and Recertification Examination Set |
The American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) will administer its
Pain Management examination via computer at more than 200 test
centers on Saturday, September 9, 2000. The ABA will inform candidates
of the test sites when the list is available. All applicants for
initial certification in the subspecialty must satisfactorily
complete one year of training in a pain management program accredited
by the Residency Review Committee for Anesthesiology by August
31, 2000; they also must be certified in anesthesiology by the
ABA or scheduled for the ABA oral examination in 2000.
Physicians whose ABA pain management certificate soon
will expire may apply to maintain their subspecialty certification.
The application for pain management certification or recertification
may be downloaded from the ABA
Web site or obtained upon written request to the ABA at 4101 Lake
Boone Trail, Suite 510, Raleigh, NC 27607-7506. The ABA must receive
your completed pain management application by March 1, 2000.
Calendars for Meetings' Booklet Entries Invited
Twice each year, in January and July, ASA publishes a "Calendars
for Meetings" booklet, which serves as an aid to all ASA members
by providing information about continuing education courses, seminars
and meetings in anesthesiology over the next five years. The booklet
further helps to provide department chairs, program directors
and component society officers with information that could prevent
overlaps and conflicts in meeting schedules.
The next edition of "Calendars for Meetings" will be distributed
with the January 2000 ASA NEWSLETTER. The deadline for
submissions is December 1, 1999. Entries must be submitted
in writing and received at the ASA Executive Office by the deadline.
Submissions will not be taken by telephone. E-mail addresses,
if available, will be included with the contact information.
For further information or to obtain submission forms,
contact the ASA Executive Office, Communications Department, 520
N. Northwest Highway, Park Ridge, IL 60068-2573;
telephone: (847) 825-5586; e-mail.
