Where can anesthesiologist assistants practice?

As an anesthesiologist assistant, you can find jobs in hospitals, trauma centers, and outpatient surgery centers where you’ll work closely with licensed anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, and other members of the anesthesia care team. Some employers require CPR and life support certification. You’ll work shifts up to 12 hours, so you need the stamina to be on your feet for extended periods. Problem-solving skills, communication skills, and teamwork are vital to a career as a medical professional. Your medical knowledge and attention to detail will help ensure your patients’ safety before, during, and after surgery.
