I'm a practicing certified anesthesiologist assistant at a Level I trauma center in Savannah, Georgia. I'm also a former CAA program faculty member and a former admissions committee reviewer.
I built Aspiring CAA to give pre-CAAs the kind of guidance that actually moves them toward CAA school, drawn from the experience of having sat on both sides of the application.
