Washington Program History
Building on over fifty years of excellence in leadership, scholarship, and reputation in the field of anesthesia, Case Western Reserve University expanded its Master of Science in Anesthesia Program to a third location in Washington, D.C.
The Washington location launched in 2012 with an initial class of sixteen graduate students.
Over the course of the last few years, Washington has continued to bolster the Master of Science in Anesthesia Program’s position as one of the premier programs for certified anesthesiologist assistants. Notably, students and faculty in Washington are purposefully placed to access the Capital and to promote and support legislation key to expanding the reach of the certified anesthesiologist assistant profession.
Graduates have received significant accolades from the regional anesthesia community, and have continually made positive impacts on their local, national, and international communities as clinicians, medical missionaries, and advocates.
