The subspecialty that the Japanese Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists is aiming at, as stated in its philosophy, is as follows:“The goals of the cardiovascular anesthesiologist board system as a subspecialty of anesthesiologists are to provide anesthesiologists with sufficient expertise and skills regarding cardiovascular anesthesia so that they can perform high-quality and safe cardiovascular anesthesia, to train specialists who can play educational and leadership roles, and to contribute to the promotion of the health and welfare of the citizens of Japan”. The society operates its own education and specialist board system. In the future, with the goal of obtaining accreditation by the Japanese Medical Specialty Board after obtaining approval from the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists, we will continue to consider requirements and make necessary improvements to the current system. We will continue to work for the benefit of patients, medical staff, and society.
