Find a career you can be proud of.
An Anesthesia Technologist (AT) is a trained medical professional who assists anesthesiologists in a range of important tasks. With the aging of our population and the shortage of trained anesthesia technologists and other anesthesia personnel, there are many exciting job opportunities in this field.
Your associate degree will provide you with the extensive knowledge and training necessary to work under an anesthesiologist, as a vital member of the anesthesia care team, typically in an emergency, operating or delivery room.
And since City College’s Anesthesia Technology program is one of very few approved by the American Society of Anesthesia Technologists and Technicians, your classroom experience is combined with clinical instruction for a well-rounded curriculum based on the ASATT‘s strict standards and guidelines.
You're ready. Let's get you trained!
