Degree Overview

Master of Medical Science in Anesthesia Science

Two anesthesia assistant students training in a classroom environment surrounded by medical equipment — MMSc in Anesthesia Science, South University

The Master of Science in Anesthesia Science (Anesthesiologist Assistant) program is distinguished among Anesthesiologist Assistant programs by a tight temporal coupling between theoretical knowledge presented in the classroom and practical applications of that knowledge. A fully-equipped mock operating room and anesthesia learning lab permit students to almost immediately apply the knowledge gained in the classroom. The program was developed to provide education in current practices in anesthesiology and instill the highest standards of professionalism and service to patients.

*Graduates are required to pass the national certification exam and obtain a state license in order to work in the field. (Exam names vary by program.)
