Advisory Panel
The AQI Advisory Panel was created in August 2009 and consists of over 40 representatives from academia, government, industry, the ASA and private practice. The Panel was formed to help the AQI achieve its vision of becoming the primary source of information for quality improvement in the clinical practice of anesthesiology. The Panel communicates through a Web portal and via email in an ongoing discussion of AQI efforts and directions. The Panel also plans a face-to-face meeting during the ASA’s Annual Meeting for those members already in attendance.
