I’d like to keep up to date whenever a state has a pro-CAA bill on the docket and stuff like that. Does maybe AAAA have one?

So recently it’s come to my attention that there is currently a bill in the New York State Senate that proposes the idea of CAAs being able to practice in NY. We honestly need this, a lot of CAAs have to leave their home state and families behind to work. Being able to practice in your home state and not be forced to be away from family for months or even years at a time would be a life saver.

Go support this bill! Even if you’re not from NY, by supporting this bill it increases the chances it will get passed and may influence other states to consider allowing CAAs to practice.

Scroll down to the blue box that asks “Are you in favor of this bill” then click ”Aye” and it will lead to to sign in to vote to support. There is also a text box in the submission so feel free to express to them your personal reasons for why this CAA bill should pass.

Hi! This is my first post on this sub! I am a current SAA1 in Texas. As I begin to request my general rotation sites for my second year, I have the opportunity to go out of state to the south Florida area. This is an area I’d love to live and work if I do not stay in Texas. I know that CAAs in Texas have delegatory authority while CAAs in Florida have full licensure. I’m want to see if there are any CAAs that are familiar with the CAA environment in Florida (as well as Texas) and which is better as far as responsibilities, relationship with attendings, and opportunities. If any Florida CAAs or Texas AA grads that have made the move could weigh in, that would be awesome! I hope everyone has a great holiday season :)

I have a class project that includes conducting an informational interview with a CAA that's actively working as an anesthetist. Is there anyone here from ABQ that would be willing to be interviewed? I'm open to in person or Zoom. Please DM me to coordinate if interested. I can provide a copy of the questions I have in advance as well. Thank you!

Hey guys, I'm keeping a master list of all CAA programs in an Excel sheet so I can easily keep track of them and their requirements (I'm a pre-med considering applying to AA school in the spring).

Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ip4vtluVfNlwlkvs74kstH--h10smKKGIap5aZVi2h4/edit?usp=sharing

I know there have been a few other things posted like this, and there's already great info on Anesthesia OneSource, but I just prefer having quick access to compare all programs within one spreadsheet.

I figured I'd just share it here in case any other prospective AA students find it useful :)

P.S. I'm still working on finding certain info for some programs. I'd also eventually like to add columns for things like average and competitive GRE/MCAT/GPA, but it seems like few programs are sharing that info right now. Different schools seem to vary greatly on what sort of info they make public haha.
