On December 7th, 2002, during the PGA (post graduate assembly), ten Chinese American Anesthesiologists met together. At their conversation, they found out their common interest which was to establish an organization to enhance the communication among their peers, and to serve the society in the better and higher standards.
With the effort of several months, on February 9th, 2003, Chinese American Society Of Anesthesiology was established officially.
The Chinese American Society of Anesthesiology (CASA) was established to associate and affiliate all reputable physicians and scientists of Chinese descent. We welcome all physicians and scientists who are engaged in the practice of, or research of, anesthesiology.
We act as a channel of the public voice with regards to the public health system. We make every effort to improve the standards of the specialty, to enhance the professional communication and exchange of international physicians and scientists in the field of anesthesiology. We work continuously to protect the general public and to improve the international standard of patient care and public health. It is our mission to develop and advance the specialty of anesthesiology for the general elevation of the standards of medical practice.
