Ontario’s Anesthesiologists are ready & committed to doing our part to reduce wait times & the surgical services backlog. We have formed a group of anesthesiologists to explore & support safe models of care that will ensure a robust supply of anesthesia coverage across Ontario.

Some great resources here!

A great opportunity for hospital chiefs or department members with an interest in leadership and change management.
