Congratulations to William R. McIvor, MD and Raymond M. Planinsic, MD, who were recently appointed Fellows of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (FASA™). FASA identifies and promotes ASA members exhibiting the highest standards in professionalism/leadership, advocacy for the profession and patient safety, and education. Becoming a FASA is a prestigious honor in the specialty, setting its designees apart from their peers. The criteria required for earning the FASA designation demonstrates a candidate’s commitment to advancing the practice and securing the future of anesthesiology.
Drs. McIvor and Planinsic join fellow recent FASA designees Drs. Andrew Herlich, David G. Metro, and Erin A. Sullivan. All of our FASAs were honored at a recognition ceremony at ANESTHESIOLOGY 2017 (the American Society of Anesthesiologists Annual Meeting), where they received distinctive ribbons and priority seating at three major lectures at the conference.
