Residents with 18 months or more left in residency or fellowship are encouraged to apply for the Resident Component Governing Council officer position. Of note, the President-Elect, Alternate Delegate to the AMA Resident and Fellow Section, and Junior Co-Editor are 2-year positions; this allows for one year of working closely with the senior officer before assuming full responsibilities.

Review the description and duties of each position before applying. Candidates are encouraged to contact the current officers to discuss the duties and responsibilities and to ask any questions.
Candidates must submit the following materials between June 1st and August 16th (No late submissions will be permitted):
Please note the candidate's residency program director should provide a strong letter of support. The program director's letter should clearly state the resident will have ample protected time to prepare for and attend all of the meetings and perform the responsibilities of each respective office. Elections occur at the ASA Resident Component House of Delegates meeting during the ANESTHESIOLOGY Annual Meeting each October. All application materials will be provided to resident delegate members electronically for their review prior to voting.
