About ICA
Welcome to the Indian College of Anaesthesiologists (ICA). The ICA is a professional academic
organisation of qualified anaesthesiologists

non-governmental, non-profitable

It is registered as an academic trust with functional autonomy. The
activities of
the ICA are spread all over
India and abroad. The vision of the ICA is to streamline and improve the academics, promote uniformity
of teaching and training of the postgraduate students and quality of practice of the speciality of
Anaesthesiology throughout the country. We have now started extending associate membership to foreign
nationals who desire to get benefits of academic activities of ICA. It will be for a period of 3 years
only and the members shall benefit from the weekly online webinar series and also can participate in
webinars, conferences and various academic programs under the aegis of ICA.
ICA represents a model of unity in structure, process and functions as a corporate college. The college
has regional representation in its establishment and links international reciprocability of
qualification. ICA hopes to attain implicit authority in our country to make decisions affecting
postgraduate medical education, conducting examinations in anaesthesiology and award of degree/diplomas,

in speciality, quality improvement in anaesthesia practice and some aspects of the professional life,
