ASA Center for Perioperative Medicine (CPMed)

CPMed's mission is to create widespread adoption of an interdisciplinary culture of collaboration and care coordination that advances the specialty of anesthesiology with the principles of perioperative medicine. CPMed will focus on the core principles of quality, operations, education, innovation and advocacy. It serves to integrate various initiatives focused on perioperative medicine in anesthesiology and related fields.

The Center for Perioperative Medicine is prioritizing four tactics:

  The EDUCATION WORKGROUP will create and curate enduring materials, valuable resources, and a curriculum for annual meeting focused on the tenets of perioperative medicine.

  The ABA/ACGME WORKGROUP will work towards increasing the perioperative medicine content in the ABA accepted residency curriculum and an ACGME accepted fellowship curriculum.

  The PERIOPERATIVE MEDICINE STAKEHOLDER WORKGROUP will provide opportunities for perioperative medicine stakeholders to learn and grow from one another while operationalizing efforts that amplify the goals of perioperative medicine.

  The CORPORATE SUPPORTER STRATEGY WORKGROUP will develop a corporate supporter strategy to identify approaches to engage with industry.
