Anesthesiologist Assistants are highly skilled, Master degree earning members of the anesthesia care team. The Anesthesiologist Assistant functions as a specialty physician assistant under the direction of a licensed Anesthesiologist.
The Anesthesiologist Assistant's responsibilities, in the hospital setting are numerous from obtaining a preliminary preanesthetic history, performing regional anesthesia techniques including inducing, maintaining, and altering anesthesia levels as well as providing postoperative recovery techniques. The responsibilities of the Anesthesiologist Assistant are comparable to the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
The Anesthesiologist Assistant profession has recently been in the media spotlight as a NEW profession but AA's have been serving our communities since the 1960's when a group of Anesthesiologists created the
profession which hoped to alleviate the critical shortage of anesthesia providers. The first Anesthesiologist Assistant program began in 1969.
