Welcome to SAMBA




SAMBA represents the interests of clinicians, works to enhance patient safety and provides research and education for practioners of ambulatory anesthesia. This year, I propose to enhance communication, invigorate research and fully implement SCOR, the SAMBA Outcomes Registry. This will be an exciting year!

Why I'm a Member

Board of Directors

I wanted to learn more current information about the specialty of ambulatory anesthesiology. And I have stayed with SAMBA because I continue to learn from my friends and now can actually share some things that I know with everyone else. Plus it went a long way in furthering my career when I was in academic anesthesiology.

Past President

More than two decades ago, I joined SAMBA to benefit from the intellectual stimulation and camaraderie offered by vibrant colleagues with similar interests and challenges. It was one of the best decisions of my career.

Chair, Committee on CME

I attended my first SAMBA Annual meeting in 1994 and joined with my meeting registration. I was newly appointed to start an Ambulatory Anesthesia section in my Department. Looking back at the end of my anesthesia practice, I can say that SAMBA has been nothing less than essential to my career.

Committee Chair

I joined SAMBA to network with colleagues in our sub-specialty, and to stay abreast of the latest developments, guidelines, and research in the field. It has been a superb experience both at a personal and professional level.
