PSA Leaders

Print Page

By Patrick J. Vlahos, D.O.

The Pennsylvania Society of Anesthesiologists (PSA) has volunteer leaders from varying medical backgrounds who continue to work in the best interest of PSA members. Past PSA leaders have shaped the way we practice anesthesia today. The current members of the PSA Executive Committee and Board of Directors include distinguished physicians, teachers, leaders, and political activists.
