There's no single road in.
That's the point.
Pre-med, reconsidering
You love medicine — not the twelve-year road to it. CAA puts you at the head of the table without the MD marathon.
Already in healthcare
Nurse, paramedic, tech, RT — your hands-on hours translate, and they give you a real edge in the room.
Changing careers
From biology, chemistry, the military, or somewhere else entirely. A bachelor's and a few prerequisites is your on-ramp.
Fresh out of undergrad
A science grad after a high-impact, high-earning path? CAA is one of medicine's best-kept secrets. Now you know.
Three steps up.
No guesswork, no detours. Boost maps the exact climb from where you are to the operating room — and walks it with you.
“Do I need a science degree?”
No — any bachelor's works. What matters is finishing the prerequisite science courses, and most programs want them completed within the last 5–10 years.
Build your foundation
A bachelor's degree, a handful of prerequisite science courses, and the MCAT or GRE. We'll map exactly what you still need — and how to close the gap.
Master's program (~24 months)
An accredited CAA program takes you from classroom to clinical rotations, training you in the same anesthesia care anesthesiologists rely on every day.
Certified & practicing
Pass your boards, earn the credential, and step onto the physician-led anesthesia care team — in the OR, where you always pictured yourself.
