Learn how to become a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant (CAA)!

The mission of Case Western Reserve University's Master of Science in Anesthesia Program is to train the best anesthetists in the world.
Our graduate program immerses students in didactic instruction, simulation and hands-on clinical training over the course of two years. This rigorous curriculum enables students to work higher acuity cases, test their skills in emergency situations and grow increasingly confident in the operating room-which is why nearly 100% of CWRU MSA graduates have job offers before graduation with starting salaries averaging $160,000 a year.

Question...what are your thoughts ( and your colleagues') on the job outlook/ saturation of AA say in the next 5 years? It seems like it's starting to pick up and becoming more competitive, too....

[@rivalstorm120]

From another youtuber, CAA were created to give more accessibility to the area at a shorter term in school where as a actual anesthesiologist degree is going to a doctors degree soon, itll make AA more accepted in the field as money wont go that far(not saying they cant but most just become AA and be content). I also saw on a recent job posting that one place was offering 40 days of pto to start and $50k sign on bonus. So the supply over demabd is very small still and in the next 5 years, as it takes 6-7 years to become a CAA starting from the bottom, should still have ample availability for job placement.

As many wont go* not money my bad

[@MrLuffy9131]

So the thing is I don't know AA but CRNA they are looking for people but yeah the problem is you can see gasworks and how many jobs of CRNA compared to CAA even in an approved state for CAA's

How much does an anesthesia technician make in the United States? I have a bachelor's degree in anesthesia techniques and I want to know how much is the salary in Washington, California or New York? I am 26 years old

[@ellenrushanian6882]

[@MrLuffy9131]

technicians different than CAA

[@adeleisnamedafterme]

Anaesthesia technicians are different than anaesthesia assistants. Anaesthesia techs make anywhere from 40k to 100k depending on where you live

[@Warth99]

@adeleisnamedafterme
Yes, I knew that. Anesthesia tech has a bachelor's degree. And an anesthesiology assistant has a master's degree.

I am from Sudan, how can I get a job

[@mirzaahmed6589]

You probably cannot. You have to be accepted into a certified anesthesiologist assistant MS program in the USA, which most likely will require prerequisite classes taken at an undergraduate university in the US or Canada. You would also need to have enough funds to cover tuition and cost of living for the entire period of your education (potentially six years). Tuition for CAA programs is about $60,000 per year for two years, and living expenses will be $25,000 to $40,000 a year, depending on where you live and your lifestyle choices, so you are looking at $200,000 for the MS program alone. You cannot get a loan from the government or a bank in the US, unless you have a US citizen with excellent credit rating co-signing for you.
If you do manage to do all that, you would still need to get a work visa. Very few hospitals or anesthesia employers will sponsor employees (other than Canadians, who can get a TN visa easily). Even if you manage to emigrate by other means (e.g. marrying an American citizen), you would still have all the educational and financial hurdles to clear. The only difference will be the ease of getting student loans.

@Tatum McKenzie you apply to CASAA and then the anesthesiologist assistant programs reach out and interview you to decide whether or not you’re a good fit for their program. Keep in mind these programs each have their own prerequisites
