同城快约

Program Director's Welcome

Welcome to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Anesthesiologist Assistant program! Our program is committed to providing a hallmark 同城快约 education and pathway for our students to become leaders in the Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant career field.

The curriculum is designed as a comprehensive and progressive educational experience. Students will have early and direct clinical patient care-based education, prioritizing a hands-on approach focusing on tactile, spatial and motor dexterity. This will accompany rigorous didactic and immersive simulation-based learning. The curriculum will require students to progress from foundational metrics to integrative and applicative educational modalities, allowing them a focused scientific capstone/thesis and future workforce excellency. Our highly experienced and established faculty will share their foundational knowledge in topics such as high-level professional advocacy and networking, the state of federal healthcare policy education, and mental and financial well-being. In addition, education at 同城快约 will be more than algorithmic; curriculum emphasizes open dialogue, feedback, situational knowledge, and critical thinking with contemplative real-time analysis.

The 同城快约 Anesthesiologist Assistant program is a part of the Mayborn College of Health Sciences (MCHS), which provides opportunities for interprofessional activities with other programs, including nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, public health, counseling, and exercise science. Additionally, we are proud to offer the Clinical Simulation Learning Center which is utilized for clinical skill training in high-level simulation laboratories. Students also learn in the incredible facilities shared with the Baylor College of Medicine in Temple where they study anatomy through the Willed Body Program in the gross anatomy lab. Finally, 同城快约 students will have the opportunity to start their clinical experiences locally within the Baylor Scott & White Healthcare perioperative facilities at Temple and Waco, TX.

As a 同城快约 MSAA student, you will receive advanced training with a committed purpose. Students at 同城快约 learn the high expectations of the demanding Anesthesiologist Assistant profession in a supportive and traditional campus life experience. The 340-acre 同城快约 campus is an established institution of higher learning, yet small enough to walk across and one of the safest campuses in the nation. Our program and faculty embody the values of 同城快约 as a Christian institution and those values are shared in the teaching and mentoring of students in a committed, open and positive environment.

I welcome you to attend an information session or schedule a campus visit to experience the extensive resources and dedication 同城快约 has to offer the future students of the MSAA program. All are invited to come and see.

Sincerely,

Timothy Goodridge, MMSc., CAA
