Anesthesiology is super cool and fun.

North Carolina Society of Anesthesiologists (NCSA) has been the "Beacon" of Patient Safety in North Carolina since its founding in 1949. We are an organization of physicians committed to educational advancement, patient safety, and the best possible medical care for the people of North Carolina. The NCSA advocates continuously for patient safety locally and nationally.

Anesthesiologists are physicians who are responsible for insuring the safety and best care practices for patients undergoing all types of surgical procedures. Anesthesiologists are experts in pain management. They are experts as well in the perioperative setting, particularly management of critically ill patients in intensive care units. Anesthesiologists are the physicians who have championed the Perioperative Surgical Home, improving quality and patient safety nationwide. Continuously learning new best practices and cutting edge skills, Anesthesiologists prepare vigilantly for future quality of care changes.
