President, Society of Perioperative Physician Anaesthesiologists
Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Prospective Fellows, and Healthcare Partners,
It is my distinct honor to welcome you to the official digital portal of the Society of Perioperative Physician Anaesthesiologists (SOPPA). As modern surgical interventions grow in complexity, the role of the physician anaesthesiologist has fundamentally expanded beyond intraoperative monitoring into comprehensive perioperative leadership.
Our vision for 2026 and beyond centers around three core pillars:
We welcome you to explore our academic programs, join our society as life members, and collaborate with us in redefining perioperative care for the future.
