Is this you?

There's no single road in.
That's the point.

01

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.

02

Already in healthcare

Nurse, paramedic, tech, RT — your hands-on hours translate, and they give you a real edge in the room.

03

Changing careers

From biology, chemistry, the military, or somewhere else entirely. A bachelor's and a few prerequisites is your on-ramp.

04

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.

The path

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.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
