Become a Fellow of the ESAIC
Becoming a Fellow of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (FESAIC™) is a prestigious honour awarded to healthcare professionals who have made a significant contribution to anaesthesiology and intensive care.
To be a FESAIC indicates and proves an outstanding level of service to the Society and patients – from Congress and research to education and advocacy – that distinguishes FESAIC from its peers. The FESAIC title is recognised throughout the anaesthesiology and intensive care community as a symbol of excellence.
Being a FESAIC is not only a recognition of the contribution to anaesthesiology, it also means that one belongs to a dedicated group of professionals that demonstrates integrity and excellence in the care of patients.
