American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA)

The American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) is a professional organization that certifies anesthesiologists in the United States. Its main role is to ensure that doctors who specialize in anesthesia have the necessary training, knowledge, and skills to provide safe and effective care during surgeries and other medical procedures. The ABA sets rigorous standards for education and exams that anesthesiologists must pass to become board-certified. This certification demonstrates that they are qualified to manage anesthesia and patient pain, as well as handle any complications that may arise during medical procedures.
