Thank you for finding time out of your day to make videos and help out those interested in the career! I really appreciate all the help you provide. 😊 I messaged you on Instagram about shadowing, hopefully something works out (I won’t be a no-show like that other student you had, haha). I definitely need to shadow even though South University doesn’t require it this cycle because I need to know what I’m getting into before spending the money and time.

Thanks for answering my questions!

15:11 how to remember all the drugs ?

How did you manage recommendation letters when applying to both PA and AA programs?

do all AA schools accept international applicants?

Could you talk about the presence of an anesthesiologist in the room with you. I believe they are there in the operating room in the beginning of the procedure and at the end of the procedure could you go into a little more detail about this

Hello! Thank you for all the helpful information. Im from California and want to get into this field. Im currently researching to get prereqs and volunteer hours out of the way. I want to apply to Colorado and Milwaukee and Florida. My question is have you ever thought or know someone that went from being an AA to an anesthesiologist? If so, how difficult was the process? I am still interested in being an anesthesiologist but maybe being an AA can be a stepping stone later down the line if I still wanna be an anesthesiologist. Thank you again!

Do you foresee a time when CAA would be able to practice independently just like CRNA?

You mentioned a friend that was a UK-trained CAA, have you ever heard of Canadian-trained CAAs working in the US? I'm asking as a Canadian in the AA program and looking to move to the US when I'm done

do you do regional anesthesia and general anesthesia?

What settings can a CAA work in? For example, impatient, outpatient, etc.

How does the salary of a CAA compare to that of a CRNA?

Hi, you mentioned Orlando and that would make my dreams come true😂 But I can’t seem to find the Orlando location that has the AA program. Are you able to help me?

If I graduated with a bachelor degree from a technical school. (Radiology) Do all the credits have to transfer for AA school? Could I just do the pre reqs needed?

Does having hundreds of leadership and research hours help offset my lower gpa when applying to programs? Currently I’m at 3.35 with plans to retake courses

I currently work in orthopedic medical device sales, spending 6+ hours a day in an operating room, do you believe they would accept those hours as clinical experience? Or would they require more anesthesia focused shadowing outside of work?

Can you explain the difference between NSU Post Bacc program vs. the Master of Science program?

what would be the most applicable prereq to retake or audit? It's been 10 years since I took any premed courses. I also never took Anatomy/Physio.

can you help me with the shadowing set up?😊

Sorry if you answered this already but which entry level job would you recommend to get patient experience for AA school

Hi, I am a recent chiropractor grad. With the amount of work I put in the pay is not justified. Although I feel really good about getting patients out of pain. I have been researching a lot lately about AA and seems to have caught my interest. How do I go about changing my professions? I am 31 what advice can you give me?

What about an anesthesia tech?

If you want to be dependent on an anesthesiologist for your whole career and essentially shadow the anesthesiologist and take orders from him or her then becoming an anesthesiologist assistant would be a great choice for you. Some people are not cut out for doing things independently and feel the need to always have someone there to tell them what to do and to save them from any issues, then being an AA would be a good choice. If you want independence then either go to med school and become a physician anesthesiologist or go to nursing school, work as a critical care nurse for three years and then apply and graduate as a board certified nurse anesthesiologist. But either of those last two professions you would be an independent provider and thus would have to think critically on your own. You’d have to pull from your precious years as a critical care nurse or as a med student. So think about what it is you want in life and the type of responsibility you desire.
