I am planning to attend an Anesthesiology Assistant program next year, and I signed up to take Human Physiology w/ Lab this upcoming Fall semester. I am taking it with Organic Chemistry Lab, Biology 2 w/ lab, and other health science courses. The only reason I am taking Human Physiology is to better prepare for AA school, but I keep reading that people lose the information by the time they reach the program, so is it even worth my time? It is my last semester of undergraduate school, and this particular course is notorious for being difficult, so should I subject myself to it or allow myself a fairly lax semester?
I would take it. I did take it. AA school will be tough enough without having to learn more stuff that could have easily been learned in undergrad. It was tough, but I learned a lot. Some of it is just a detailed refresher of what should have been learned in gen biology 1 and 2.
It's up to you, really. I've seen people survive AA school without taking any previous anatomy or physiology classes.
If you're already accepted to a program, then I would suggest trying to just enjoy your last semester. When they say you're giving 2 years of your life for school, they weren't kidding... Enjoy the time while you have it
not sure if anybody on the board know this or not but Memorial Hermann in Houston Texas is replacing 100 AA with CRNA. They need help fighting. This is just the beginning for all AA's. CWRU Houston main Rotation.
