Dave, I am a current AA student and very interested in going out west, esp. CA, when I finish. Most of my family is out there & it would be nice to be close to them. I wrote to the ASA in CA to ask if there are any talks of AAs there & the person that responded was clueless. They said that they only have anesthesiologists there. They didn't know what AAs were. I guess it won't be anytime soon.???
