Anesthesiologist Assistant Career Required Training
Anesthesiologist Assistants educational programs are based on the masters' degree model and require at least two full academic years. Programs must be co-directed by board certified anesthesiologists. AA educational programs usually accept students who have prior education in the sciences, as these subjects best qualify a student to pursue a career in medicine, dentistry, or any of the basic medical sciences.
Students are taught course work that enhances their basic science knowledge in physiology, pharmacology, anatomy, and biochemistry with special emphasis on the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, nervous, and neuromuscular systems. Clinical instruction educates students extensively in patient monitoring, anesthesia delivery systems, life support systems, and patient assessment as well and in the skills needed to provide compassionate, quality care.
