For more than half a century, we have made it our mission to recognize, promote and foster excellence in anesthesia through our award programs.
Each year, on the final day of the CAS Annual Meeting, anesthesiologists celebrate the achievements and contributions of their peers during a ceremony dedicated to those who have made significant contributions to the practice, teaching and advancement of anesthesia.
