I received this email from www.anesthesiologistassistant.com and thought I'd pass it along.

Quinnipiac University - Hamden, Connecticut
Anesthesiologist Assistant Program!

The School of Health Sciences is developing an anesthesiologist assistant program* that will educate qualified individuals to practice on an anesthesia care team under the direction of anesthesiologists.

Anesthesiology assistants participate in the provision of all types of anesthesia including administering drugs; obtaining vascular access; applying and interpreting monitors; establishing and maintaining airways; and assisting with preoperative assessment.

This post-bachelor's degree program will be a full-time, 24-month program composed of didactic courses with more than 2,000 hours of clinical training.

*Pending approval by the Connecticut Board of Governors for Higher Education, the anticipated start date is the 2012-13 academic year.

Too bad it's all the way up in Connecticut. Brrrrrrrr! Then again, it sounds like the majority of future AA program graduates had better get used to moving to the northeast and midwest regardless of where they graduated from, especially considering that the southeast is getting flooded by both CRNA and AA programs (and on top of that, a number of hospital networks in southeastern cities won't even hire AA's)...

Yeah, too bad we'll have to work in the true America, where the majority of the US population is, and not the dirty south. Coming from Joe Dirt it's not surprising I suppose.

And what if someone would prefer to live within driving distance (I.e., 3-5 hours) of the coast or happens to prefer warmer weather and winters that don't involve shoveling snow out of their driveways?

It's interesting to note the defense mechanisms utilized by those on this forum who realize that they can't argue with the fact that AA's are being herded up north and to the midwest. More specifically, people like you feel the need to "defend" this trend and take an attitude that lambasts those who might simply prefer to live elsewhere. In other words, it's essentially saying, "If you don't like it, then f*ck off -- we don't need you in this profession," instead of acknowledging that this is, in fact, one of the few drawbacks to the profession.

It's no defense mechanism, just a statement. Besides the fact that salaries are higher up north, it's not exactly what I'd call a drawback. The students entering the program will primarily be from the northeast anyways so I don't understand your logic of herding up north. It's only a drawback if you are a southerner, plan on always being a southerner, or are afraid of the big northeast cities. If you want to stay warm, then stay in Georgia and accept the supply/demand curve of which you know nothing about and get paid less. How anyone can say expanding the profession is a drawback is plain nuts

Well, it's not really an expansion if the vast majority of new graduates will be concentrated in the northeast/midwest instead of working in the southeast; I'd call that more of a re-distribution than an expansion. Sure, graduates will be introducing the profession to new regions, but why should someone paying $70k+ in tuition be obligated to work in a particular area to fulfill some kind of national goal held by the AAAA? And how can you say I know "nothing about" the supply/demand curve and yet acknowledge, in the same sentence, that an AA working in GA will probably earn a lower salary?

What's wrong with you? The point of the new schools in new areas is to recruit people from those regions. Therefore, it's not redistribution. It's expansion. I'm from the north and I'd be happy to see more programs up there. Everyone has their own comfort zones. Just because you like the south, doesn't mean everyone should be there.

You don't have multiple job offers, but thanks for sharing.

Haha, I do. You mad, bro?

No "bro", I'm not, I am a working AA.

The likelihood of you having multiple job offers in December from an otherwise mediocre program are slim to none, but keep deluding yourself.
