The Master of Science in Anesthesia (MSA) at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is a rigorous 24-month (6 semester) graduate program preparing students to become Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants (CAAs). It features a blend of didactic coursework, simulation, and over 2200 clinical hours (600+ cases), beginning within the first month of training. Students gain hands-on clinical education at four campus sites (Cleveland, Houston, Washington D.C., Austin) and work closely with faculty, anesthesiologists, and experienced CAAs. The curriculum covers medical sciences, anesthetic theory, patient management, and simulation, with a strong focus on teamwork and leadership. Nearly 100% of graduates receive job offers before graduation, reflecting high demand for the profession. Career outcomes primarily include practice as CAAs alongside supervising anesthesiologists in hospitals and surgical centers, as well as opportunities in education, research, and medical advocacy. 来源： https://case.edu/medicine/msa-program/admissions/admissions-requirements
