Advocating for anesthesiologists and our patients
The DC Society of Anesthesiologists (DCSA) represents approximately 100 physicians practicing in the District of Columbia.
The principal goal of the DCSA is to promote the practice of anesthesiology in the District of Columbia.
Our mission is to communicate the scope and value of the anesthesiologist to the public, to monitor and promote public policy to enhance patient care, and to serve as an advocate for anesthesiologists and their patients.
WORKING WITH THE ASA
DCSA provides representation for DC anesthesiologists with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) leadership and on key ASA committees. DCSA also works with ASA on outreach programs for congressional aides on health matters.
The American Society of Anesthesiologists is an educational, research and scientific association of physicians organized to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology and improve the care of the patient.
Since its founding in 1905, the Society's achievements have made it an important voice in American medicine and the foremost advocate for all patients who require anesthesia or relief from pain.
Furthermore, ASA encourages specialization in the field of anesthesiology and hopes to increase the availability of anesthesiologists in the District of Columbia.
