In 1960, "Anesthesiology" was accredited as a "specially approved medical specialty" for approving registered anesthesiologists. Exclusive training for more than two years of anesthesia under an adequate mentor is required for candidates to be qualified as registered anesthesiologists. In 1963, the Japan Society of Anesthesiology (JSA) established the system to qualify board certificated anesthesiologists as proper mentors responsible for the training of the candidates. This ranks as one of the most significant events in the JSA history and the society launched the first qualification system in the history of medical practice in Japan. Every member of the present society should fully understand the hidden background of the qualification system of the specialty for achieving greater social recognition of anesthesiologists in this country.
1960年，“麻醉学”被认定为认可注册麻醉医师的“特别批准的医学专业”。候选人要获得注册麻醉医师资格，需要在合适的导师指导下接受两年以上的麻醉专业培训。1963年，日本麻醉学会（JSA）建立了将获得委员会认证的麻醉医师认定为负责培训候选人的合适导师的制度。这是日本麻醉学会历史上最重要的事件之一，该学会推出了日本医学实践史上首个资格认定制度。当今学会的每位成员都应充分了解该专业资格认定制度背后的背景，以便在本国提高麻醉医师的社会认可度。
