Shadowing: A Key Step in Your Anesthesiologist Assistant Journey

Shadowing is an essential component of the application process. It offers a unique opportunity to observe the day-to-day responsibilities of an Anesthesiologist Assistant (AA) and helps you determine if this career path is right for you.

Shadowing Requirements:

• Absolute minimum of 8 hours of shadowing is required.
• Shadowing can be completed at hospitals across the country. If you are located outside the Denver Meto area, please reach out to local hospitals to inquire about shadowing opportunities in your area.
