pete I understood your message I was just also stating a fact(point)in clinical at AA schools it's the AA-Cs,Anesthesia residents,&MDAs who train AA-S(A) student anesthetist as well as R.N.s student anesthetist(AA-S-R.N.) who are in training when they(R.N.s) go the AA route. Why Is that so hard for you to understand? and no I will not post the information for you since you know so much why don't you do your on research or better yet why don't you ask an R.N. who is an Anesthesiologist Assistant Certified(ANESTHETIST). pete I ask you again what are you trying to prove? if you can't say anything positive about the AA-Cs and their profession then please stay off this web site, it's time for CRNAs who come on this site and constantly bash the AA-C profession to start respecting AA-Cs and their expertise as mid level anesthesia providers(Practicioners)and both start working as a "TEAM". I'm finish talking to you if you can't say anything positive please DO NOT RESPOND BACK TO ME pete. Thank you(dissapointed)
