ASA president pens piece on challenges facing anesthesiology in Becker's

In the piece, Patrick Giam, MD, FASA, underscored three top issues impacting the specialty, including maintaining anesthesiologist-led care, workforce challenges, and ensuring the economic integrity of the specialty. “Over the past year, ASA has defeated over a dozen nurse anesthetists-backed practice expansions proposals. We will continue to fight for our patients’ safety as it is the physician-led model that has made anesthesiology one of the safest specialties in medicine,” he wrote.
