In this episode of the Advancing Surgical Care Podcast, ASCA Chief Executive Officer Bill Prentice and Alberto Ardon, MD, president of the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA), discuss their collaboration to address the current anesthesia provider shortage and plans for the ASCA + SAMBA Conference & Expo, May 13–16 in Washington, DC.

As ASCA members are acutely aware, the healthcare system is currently facing a significant shortage of anesthesia providers. While ASCA has always maintained strong relationships with other professional medical organizations, including those representing the anesthesia community, the urgency of today’s shortage has raised the stakes and the importance of greater collaboration between surgery centers and the anesthesiologists who practice in them.

Tune in to learn more about efforts to relieve the current shortage of anesthesia providers as well as the first-of-its-kind joint annual conference. Visit the ASCA + SAMBA 2026 website to see the full conference schedule.
