It is.

 

[Arch Guillotti]

I have been through all the requests for now so the queue should be caught up with only a couple of exceptions.

 

[vsl5]

Where are we supposed to find the private forum? I don't see the link anywhere

Can you please recheck the queue?

 

[Arch Guillotti]

I have responded to everyone via PM. If you haven't heard from me then send me a PM. There has been a slew of requests so I have been a little slow to get to them all. Give me until the end of the weekend to sort through them all. Thanks.

 

[somedumbDO]

hey arch i am waiting to see all the dirt in the members only section !!

 

[Arch Guillotti]

The queue for the forum should be relatively caught up. If you have not heard from me or if there are any questions, please PM me. Remember the forum is for the ASA, not the ABA.

Out of curiosity-> Why ASA and not ABA? I let my ASA membership lapse bc Im Pain Mgmt and can only keep up with so many societies (therefore Im in ASRA, AAPM and the like). But I like trying my best to keep up with whats going on in the Anesthesia world *just in case*...

I would have to say ditto to this question. Seems that many of us are not members for a whole host of legitimate reasons.

log out and then back in.

if that doesn't work trying clearing your cookies and cache and stuff.

 

[vsl5]

I've PMed you a few times and sent you my info... still can't see the private forum. Either I'm not verified or I'm blind (i'm assuming its in the subforum headings right?).

 

[hgjackson]

[GasGal07]

Other than the anesthesiology club, is there another anesthesiology private forum? If yes, I want to sign up for it. Please send me info. Thank you!

 

[Krukenberg]

as a poster on another specialty board, curious what the purpose of the private forum is? wondering if it could be a good idea for ours as well. thanks

 

[sice4]

Hi, sent you a message with necessary info and have not received a response. Would like to be added to the private forum. Thank you!

Why is ASA membership required for access to the private forum? I understand that it is one way to confirm a physician's identity. But, surely there are others.

I never received anything of value for my ASA membership for the 10+ years I was a member, and I haven't missed membership even once in the last five years since I gave it up.

I'm in the USA, so the question hardly applies to me: but what about our foreign colleagues?

If there's a suitable workaround (like an ABA number), please let me know.

I wondered the same thing. ASA membership seems like a fairly meaningless qualification. They would not let me in either even though I've been an anesthesiologist for 35 years and thought I might have some worthwhile perspective to contribute.

 

[Arch Guillotti]

Sometimes it is negotiable. PM me if you are interested.

I am not a ASA member - can I get in ?

Follow-up request for access sans US ASA number. I'm a US based CRNA pretending to be an oversees doc to get to all of your secrets.

Sorry I missed the forum due to unexpected circumstances, please was the forum recorded and is there a way that I could still get my questions answered?

Yeah, I did this a few months ago too, and followed up a couple times. Never heard back. So I wouldn't hold my breath.
