The ABA’s Policy Book

We seek to advance the highest standards of the practice of anesthesiology. Since 1938, we’ve developed our policies to serve our mission and the physicians who join us in its pursuit.

Disclaimer: The ABA does not represent any government entity and does not have authorization to facilitate government services. The ABA does receive updated information from the Federation of State Medical Boards about the medical license status for our users. This is done in partnership with the American Board of Medical Specialties. We also provide links to the appropriate state medical boards websites for information about medical license renewal, but the ABA is not responsible for any information on these external sites.
