ASA at a Glance



The following figures were compiled by ASA staff from available membership data as of April 30, 2006. Percentages reflect just less than 1 percent of unaccountable data due to individual member records with insufficient information.

Total ASA Membership = 41,136 (another all-time high!)



Active members make up the largest segment (62 percent) of ASA’s total membership with resident members comprising about 15 percent.




The greatest number of ASA members (30 percent) are between the ages of 46-55. The second largest group (25 percent) includes ages 36-45.




The number of female anesthesiologists (22 percent) has been climbing at a slow but steady rate as more women enter medicine. In 1996, women accounted for 19 percent of ASA’s membership.
