Fellow of the SATA. Earned, never bought.
FSATA recognises sustained leadership, scholarship, and service in transplant anesthesia. It is the highest honor SATA confers on its members — and the bar is real.
What we look for.
The Credentials Committee evaluates four domains. Strength in one area does not substitute for absence in another.
Membership in good standing
At least five consecutive years as an Active SATA member, in good standing.
Education contributions
A documented record of teaching, mentorship, or curriculum development in transplant anesthesia.
Scholarly work
Authorship of peer-reviewed publications, textbook chapters, or evidence-based protocols recognised by the field.
Service & leadership
Service to SATA committees, working groups, or the broader transplant community at a regional, national, or international level.
Four steps, no surprises.
The full packet typically takes a weekend to prepare for someone who already meets the criteria.
