What is the Anesthesia Consultation Program?
The ASA Anesthesia Consultation Program consists of a group
of Board-certified anesthesiologists who are mostly past or
present members of the Committee on Quality Management and
Departmental Administration . Included are several Past Presidents
of ASA, and many are chiefs or former chiefs of anesthesiology
departments. They come from all parts of the United States
and work in institutions ranging from a 100-bed community
hospital to a 1,000-bed medical teaching center.
Many of these consultants are well known as speakers at
anesthesia meetings across the country, and each is actively
involved in patient care. All are thoughtful, experienced
clinicians who bring years of experience to the program.
It is from this group that two of these individuals are
appointed as an Ad Hoc Subcommittee to perform an Anesthesia
Consultation. Of course, no one serves as a consultant when
such service would involve even the appearance of a conflict
of interest.
