About
Setting standards and leading innovation for the practice of anesthesiology since 1938
We recognize that the ABA plays a unique role in improving healthcare outcomes for all patients. We will continue striving to provide rigorous and fair assessments. We will continue to improve anesthesia care by increasing awareness and sensitivity to all patients and promoting integrity and respect in every doctor-patient relationship. As an organization, we welcome people from different communities and believe that creating an environment where everyone belongs enriches all of us.
We began taking intentional steps towards these goals in 2018. The revelatory nature of the global pandemic and the nation’s healthcare challenges led the ABA to support these initiatives, including:
Having the volunteer corps reflect the broader MOCA participant population
Identifying and closing knowledge gaps identified via ABA assessments
Supporting policies and practices to promote respect for our differences and equal access to opportunities, resources and advancement
