Master of Science in Anesthesia Program
A newly established program, the Master of Science in Anesthesia Program, will graduate highly trained and competent anesthesiologist assistants (AA's). AA's are physician extenders licensed to work under the supervision of anesthesiologists. AA's provide various anesthesia services in hospitals, surgery centers, and other health care environments.
The availability of medical professionals to deliver anesthesia services is in short supply and this program is being implemented to meet an urgent community need.
The revised application deadline is May 15th. While start dates are subject to change, the inaugural class should begin in July with a cohort of four to five students. Additional information regarding the 24-month program and admission requirements may be obtained at the AA Web site at http://aaprogram.medicine.umkc.edu .
