| ASA at a
Glance |
The following figures were compiled by ASA staff from available
membership data as of April 30, 2000. Percentages reflect just
less than 1 percent of unaccountable data due to individual member
records with insufficient information.
The ASA demographics survey is mailed annually to members
based on their month of birth or when a change in their practice
occurs (change of address, membership status, etc.) The survey
requests information about the member's mode of practice, years
in practice, age, gender, etc.
Total ASA Membership = 35,868

| The greatest number of ASA members
(37 percent) are between the ages of 35-44. The second largest
group (25 percent) includes ages 45-54. |
 |
|
| Active
members make up the largest segment (66 percent) of ASA's
total membership with resident members comprising about 12
percent. |
| Primary Modes of Practice |
|
11,703 53% |
3,548 16% |
|
2,661 12% |
|
862 Hospital/HMO 4% |
|
679 Private Multispecialty Group 3% |
|
324 Other 1% |
|
258 Government 1% |
|
| These figures represent 90 percent of ASA active members
who have returned physician demographic surveys and do not
include residents who cannot stipulate practice affiliations.
While the percentages may not reflect the entire ASA membership,
they are indicative of the current trend toward private group
practice |
Membership by Gender
The number of female anesthesiologists
has been increasing at a slow but steady rate, but is expected
to climb as more women enter medicine. |
