Geriatric anesthesia as focus of interest is a rare phenomenon, even in the current climate of increasing numbers of older patients having surgery. Sixty years ago only a handful of anesthesiologists likely had such a focus. Although the numbers of anesthesiologists whose educational and/or research interests emphasize geriatric anesthesia is still small, the infrastructure to encourage and support such individuals has progressed immeasurably. This article describes how this subspecialty developed and what has been accomplished in the past 60 years. Much of the progress has come from the efforts of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Committee on Geriatric Anesthesia, outreach programs by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), and the Society for the Advancement of Geriatric Anesthesia (SAGA).
