Our Purpose

The Association of Anesthesia Clinical Directors is focused on providing anesthesia and perioperative professionals with leadership tools, operational frameworks, and novel approaches relevant to the entire health spectrum. The business of operating room management – including OR efficiency, productivity and cost containment – is a vital skill for the survival of the anesthesia profession. AACD membership provides an opportunity to tackle common challenges, develop additional leadership and organizational skills, network with other clinical directors to share ideas, and hear from experts in the field who can provide insights that impact the perioperative space as a whole.
