THE VALUE OF MEMBERSHIP
Legislative Advocacy and collaboration with the Board of Medicine, the Florida Society of Anesthesiologists (FSA) works year-round to inform lawmakers about safe, cost-effective, physician-led anesthesia and to develop best practices throughout the state of Florida. The FSA fights every day for your practice by working with experts and lawmakers to protect the practice of safe anesthesia in Florida.
Our job is to open doors, make our case, and protect safe medicine. The Florida Society of Anesthesiologists is working to uphold the highest standards of our profession and patient advocacy by promoting research, education, and innovation in anesthesia care. FSA 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 their patients.
Patient-Centered Through the continued support of our members, we work every day to protect your practice and ensure Florida’s patients are receiving the safest model of anesthesia care possible.
Securing Your Practice: The Florida Society of Anesthesiologists is proud of the good work we’ve done in the last year to safeguard your practice and Florida’s patients. And while we have made great strides in our efforts, the work is far from done.
Make no mistake: the threats to safe anesthesia medicine and your practice are real. Changing corporate structures, CRNA’s seeking independent practice, and an ever-changing insurance market threaten your practice, and the FSA fights for your members by working around the clock with experts and lawmakers to protect the practice of safe anesthesia in Florida.
