Do you think CAA’s will be eligible to work in more states in the future? Because I’m from Tennessee and they aren’t eligible here .

Hey, Alexis! Great question. As a native NYer I whole heartedly want to see this profession expand into every state. That is part of the reason why I started this channel. In addition, I donate to the legislative fund in order to support the lobbyists who work towards advancing AA into more states. Advancing this profession requires financial support. Last year AAs raised 50k to support legislative efforts. There is ongoing lobbying that will take place in 2024. This is the link to donate: paylink.paytrace.com/Payment Lastly, I know of more than one CAA from Tennessee and they work in Georgia! I hope I answered your question :)

if i graduate my master in anesthesia technology , can i become anesthesiologist assistant?? please rply mam

Hello are there any liability issues in this field? Thanks :)

technically with the amount of flexibility you have, like only having to work 2 days a week (or maybe even less), you can get another job with other skills you have right? would that be possible? if so that sounds actually very exciting

This job is very procedure heavy and the training focuses on both pharmacology and physiology and the many procedures CAAs do. Pharmacists have very different training but can apply and grow through AA school in order to do the same work.
