The BC Anesthesiologists’ Society (BCAS) proudly represents nearly 600 dedicated anesthesiologists across British Columbia. These highly trained specialists provide expert medical care to hundreds of thousands of British Columbians each year. Whether it’s during childbirth, complex surgeries, or life-saving interventions in the ICU, our anesthesiologists ensure safety, comfort, and the best possible outcomes for patients.
Anesthesiologists are integral members of multidisciplinary healthcare teams, collaborating closely with surgeons, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other specialists to deliver seamless, patient-centered care. Their expertise extends beyond the operating room, contributing to pain management, critical care, and the coordination of complex medical procedures.
At BCAS, we are committed to advocating for both anesthesiologists and the patients they serve. Our efforts focus on ensuring equitable access to care, enhancing patient safety, and addressing wait times to provide timely, high-quality care. By working closely with healthcare partners and government stakeholders, BCAS strives to improve resources and support for the critical services anesthesiologists deliver across the province.
