SOCCA’s mission is dedicated to the education of anesthesiologists in the care of critically ill patients and to foster the knowledge and practice of critical care medicine by anesthesiologists. This will be accomplished through education, advocacy and community. The SOCCA provides for the specialized needs of intensivists as well as the broader needs of practicing anesthesiologists. SOCCA members include anesthesiologists who actively practice critical care, and a significant number of anesthesiologists who practice post anesthesia care unit management or acute care management, respiratory therapy, cardiovascular, neurosurgical, and transplant anesthesia. The SOCCA also offers a research award, co-sponsored by Hospira. Details can be found under the Research page. The organization is an affiliate of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).
All members of the ASA, as well as residents and fellows in training
are encouraged to join.

The Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists (SOCCA) formerly ASCCA, was
founded in 1986 to address the unique concerns of intensivists before
the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). The founding members
of SOCCA believed and continue to believe that multidisciplinary
critical care medicine is a desirable goal.
