Anesthesiologist Assistant Student Q&A

[@coffeepandacat]

That's gotta be one of the most non traditional students with the psych major. Now I want to see an art major become an AA

She also worked as a scribe! Unfortunately those type of roles usually don’t pay well so she likely also worked another job to support herself financially. However I think it’s great that the CAA field embraces diversity!

[@coffeepandacat]

@@CAALifestyle Well of course you have to have healthcare experience to show that you are committed to the profession

[@Blake_Rosier]

So an undergrad major in biology isn’t necessary to apply to an AA program!? I’m assuming as long as the AA prerequisites are met the bachelor’s degree doesn’t matter?

[@TomBreazeal]

She's a great classmate!

Chabely, thank you so much for making this content! In a previous video I think that you mentioned that you paid for a cardiology class in order to sharpen your skills. I was looking into taking an online EKG course and was wondering whether this type of class would be similar subject matter that would be useful down the line as a CAA student. Is it possible to make a video that dives into some of the avenues that would be helpful to future students?

[@assann4989]

do you have to get a specific amount of shadowing hours before applying to AA school? or do you get the shadowing hours while doing AA school

[@roxxaayyye]

Did she have to take some time to complete all the PreReqs?

Is possible to be a Anesthesiologist assistance with herniated disc?

[@Dark_Helmet15]

what is the likelihood of someone with a Ph.D in molecular biology getting into an AA program?

[@cpbeauvoir]

Extremely high

[@5onit]

Are there any programs that accept mcat or gre over prerequisites if you have not taken all the required prerequisite courses?

[@clearaswater4424]

My son is in high school and very interested in this field.

[@trietvu-r4f]

Hi Chabely, which AA school did you go to ? (sorry if you answered this elsewhere)

[@CAALifestyle]

Nova FTL :)

[@trietvu-r4f]

@@CAALifestyle Thanks for your answer. It would be great if you could make a video comparing different CAA schools/program. I've been researching but I haven't found many people talking about the quality of CAA schools. How does your school rank in regards to other CAA schools?

Please I'm interested in AA school how will I go about it as an international student please

[@cpbeauvoir]

Check out the awakened anesthetist podcast. There’s an episode about an international student on there who became an AA.
