Thank you Jonah for joining, to become part of the medical team, who would do unimaginable sacrifices to deliver in person God’s healing. I’m a retired RN also with a sibling who dedicated his whole life delivering anesthesia. The tables turned when my husband had a stroke and we became recipients of medical care and experienced it all. Thank you for answering this calling. The world needs more Jonahs. Praying for your success in the field. God bless your journey!

I have a bachelors degree in music but been wanting to go to AA school. I took human bio in undergrad and I loved it but it was hard lol Idk if I’m capable of becoming an AA but its definitely been on my mind a lot lately. Thanks for sharing this day in the life - its great to see what its like!

I've heard that a lot. People don't feel they're smart or ready enough for anesthesia. It is very intense and challenging but that's why the application and screening process is such a big deal. If you (or anyone reading) can make it past all of that then you do have what it takes to make it to the finish line

Thank you for taking the time to create these videos. I’m looking forward to following this path. Just curious ... where you attend do you usually have to make power point presentations to explain topics to the class (like class presentations )? Or it is the teacher/doctor who explains the topics to students. I’d also like to know how many students get admitted in your program. Thank you !!

@jonah.barros 5 ай бұрын

I’ve only had to prepare a powerpoint to present to the class once so far. I’ll make another one this semester and i might be a TA for anesthesia lab after our incoming class arrives in May. Around 45 students matriculate into the program at this campus each year.

Hey Jonah great video! I am an aspiring AA and I saw you use Anki to aid in your studying. Are these decks available publically to help other students or are they school specific? And just curious what other study strategies/resources you’ve found to be very helpful other than notecards (if any) Thank you!!

@jonah.barros 5 ай бұрын

Its something that is student made and tailored specifically to our courses at this campus. There may be more standardized decks for board prep but i havent used any yet

2 questions. How many classes do you have and how often are they a week? Also if I become a CNA in high school and get a job at a hospital, will my hours I get working in high-school be eligible as patient care hours to put on my caa resume?

@jonah.barros Ай бұрын

@@JacobOlson-im5zd I have most classes once per week plus assigned online lectures or material in between. I think on paper it’s 20+ credit hours. Yes CNA experience early on will help considerably

For schools that have you start clinicals right away, do they incorporate simulation training like you’re doing or does it just depend on the schools curriculum?

@jonah.barros 2 ай бұрын

Case Western and I'm pretty sure all programs incorporate simulation training. Its an essential part of learning anesthesia safely

Do you know by any chance if the Nova AA programs accept AP credits for the calculus 1 requirement? I've been trying to email them but I haven't got any responses.

@jonah.barros 5 ай бұрын

I had a lot of AP credits on my transcript and it wasn’t a problem. It might depend if you got a 3/4/5 but I’m pretty sure 4s and 5s will be accepted but refer to admissions for the exact policy.

Education The certification exam applicant must have graduated from an NCCAA-approved educational program for anesthesiologist assistants. Programmatic accreditation, as described in the latest edition of the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education (CAAHEP) publication Standards and Guidelines for the Accreditation 9 of Educational Programs for the Anesthesiologist Assistant, or an equivalent organization accreditation as deemed by the NCCAA, shall be required for NCCAA educational program approval.

Hello will the salaries always be high for AA? And what about job saturation ? Does this have good job security ? Im a doctor in a foreign country could you plz tell me what schools i can apply to i have done my undergrad studies in a diff country thanks

@jonah.barros 3 ай бұрын

Demand for anesthesia is expected to continue growing due to an increasing aging population and prevalence of surgery. I expect AA salaries to grow for the foreseeable future Most schools should theoretically accept international prerequisites, but it will depend on a case by case basis. Youll have to contact each ones admissions offices

@Alex-bh7dq 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for responding , could you also please tell me if in the future they will favour crnas more or will AA definitely be just as in demand compared to crnas , i hear they have been trying to get rid of AAs and favour their own instead

@@Alex-bh7dq CRNAs politically oppose us but we continue to grow despite that. At systems that employ both AAs and CRNAs, salaries are identical. Also starting salaries are higher. I would consider 160 very low.
