The Society for Academic Anesthesiology Associations (SAAA) is the umbrella organization for the three associations Listed below. The umbrella organization SAAA does not have individuals as members, but associations as its members. Decisions will be made by input from the three associations as represented in the governing council. The three associations are:
(1) The Association of Academic Anesthesia Chairs (AAAC) representing the Chairs of the academic departments in this country.
(2) The Association of Anesthesiology Core Program Directors (AACPD) which is representative of ACGME designated core program directors.
(3) The Association of Anesthesiology Subspecialty Program Directors (AASPD) representative of the currently recognized subspecialty program directors.
At this time, we are extending an invitation for each Chair, Core Program Director and ACGME approved Subspecialty Program Director serving in an Academic Anesthesiology Department to become a member of this Society.
Each Academic Anesthesiolgy Department needs to pay Yearly Dues which are $675 and are levied with the Chairperson of the Department. At this time, we are accepting applications under this dues structure for membership into either AAAC by the current academic anesthesiology Chair as well as into AACPD by the current ABA designated Anesthesiology Core Program Director and into the Association of Academic Subspecialty Program Directors (AASPD) an Association for the current four Anesthesiology Affiliated ACGME approved Fellowship Program Directors. These are Pain, ICU, Pediatric and Cardiac Anesthesiology. Application forms for AAAC and AACPD and AASPD can be completed online at http://www.saaahq.org/saaamemberform.htm.
The Annual Meeting of SAAA will be held in November 4-6, 2011, at the Grand Hyatt Denver in Denver, Colorado. Meeting and registration information will be posted as soon as it is available. Registration fees are $425 early fee, $475 late fee for each Member. All Chairs, Core Program Directors and Subspecialty Program Directors are strongly encouraged to attend.
