    Hi Chris, It's nice to know that some one out there truly have respect for Anesthesia Technicians and Anesthesia Technologists as if they're incompetent and don't know what they're doing as adults, with years of experience, certification, diploma, associate degree and a bachelor degree as allied health profession.

    Whether AA's or CRNA's want to admit it or not, being an Anesthesia Technician, CER. Anesthesia Technician, and CER. Anesthesia Technologist with many years of technical and clinical (skills) experience, who hold a Bachelor's of Science or Arts Degree (B.S., B.S.H., B.Sc., B.H.Sc. and B.A.) and/or an Associate of Science degree and grandfather into the ACT is a huge stepping stone in becoming an Anesthetist mostly as an AA-C (Allied Health Professional) or a CRNA.

    It's in the same manner as going from AA-C practice to M.D. to M.D.A. practice, Anesthesiologist, M.D., A.A.-C., MMSc. .

    It's in the same manner as going from AT/CER.AT/CER.ATT practice to A.A.-C practice, Anesthetist, A.A.-C., MSA, CER.AT .

    Fact: One of my friend is a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant AA-C (Anesthetist) with a Master of Medical Science Degree in Anesthesiology and Patient Monitoring Systems (MMSc.). The AA program he attended they were Anesthesia Technicians, Emergency Medical Technicians, Para Medics, Registered Respiratory Therapists, and Registered Nurses in his class room. All AA students anesthetist (AA-S) were holding a Bachelor's of Science Degree before they enter the program.

    Fact: There are several A.T.'s CER. or none CER. with years of experience specializing in (Anesthesia Technology) who are practicing as a AA-C today.

    Fact: One CER.AT was working in Dallas, TX at a Level One Trauma Center Hospital who held a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Biology before going to AA school.

    It only makes scenes for an AT/CER.AT/CER.ATT who already have years of experience in anesthesia technology to go AA-C route 2.5 years to obtain a Masters Degree in Anesthesiology, MA (Medical Anesthetist) vs. going CRNA route wasting 5.5 to 6 years to obtain a Masters Degree in Nurse Anesthesia,
    NA (Nurse Anesthetist) no offense.

    I wish you very well Chris in AA school and/or CRNA school which ever route you decide to take.
