About MSC

The Medical Student Component (MSC), formerly the Medical Student Delegation, made tremendous strides within the ASA, and was granted component status in 2007. Every year, the Governing Council continues to work toward increasing the number of students exposed to anesthesiology through increasing medical student membership in the ASA.

The Medical Student Component was founded for these purposes:

• To increase student exposure to anesthesiology at medical schools across the nation.
• To encourage medical student participation in the ASA and the state component level
• To provide up-to-date resources for medical students pursuing careers in anesthesiology
• To provide opportunities in leadership, research and education in the field of anesthesiology
