Welcome to the American Society of Anesthesiologists Medical Student Component (ASA MSC) website.  We are a group of medical students committed to educating other students about the field of anesthesiology and promoting the mission of the ASA.  We are very excited about the progress our group has made since our creation several years ago, which includes becoming a Component of the ASA, having formerly been a Delegation.  As we proceed through this year, the ASA MSC Governing Council plans on continuing to promote our mission and extend our help and resources to as many students as we can reach, with a goal of having established a contact in every medical and osteopathic school in the country.  To accomplish this, we need your help!  If you are a student interested in anesthesiology, I urge you and your medical school representative to complete the delegate nomination form below.  The Governing Council looks forward to helping you learn about resources and opportunities made possible by the ASA, strategies for developing or expanding your school’s Anesthesiology Interest Group (AIG), and how to become involved as a delegate.  We are excited to have developed an Anesthesiology Interest Group activity list to help you and your medical school expand the anesthesiology experience.  Click on the pdf form below for use at your medical school.
