We are proud to share a joint membership program with the GSA (Georgia Society of Anesthesiologists). This collaboration better equips each organization to accomplish its mission of promoting education, research, advocacy and patient safety. Joint members in GSA/GAAA will receive benefits from both organizations for a combined fee of $250 a year for Fellows or a $75 one-time charge for Students. This organization will reflect the professional appearance of Anesthesiologist Assistants throughout the state of Georgia. Georgia Anesthesiologist Assistants must recognize that in the current changing environment of healthcare it is necessary that our professional organization advocate for our position in the Anesthesia Care Team model, and we need members like you to make that happen! 

​

 For prospective student:

 We want to thank you demonstrating an interest in becoming a prospective member of the Georgia Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants. Before you start on your journey exploring the field of Anesthesiology, we highly recommend reviewing the FAQ's for GAAA and reviewing the information from our national organization The American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants. In an effort to connect you with other individuals interested or involved with the Anesthesiologist Assistant community, we suggest registering and utilizing the CAA Discord. It is a great forum for prospective AA students to connect with current CAA's, SAA's and each other. Please give us at least 2 weeks to reach out once you have become a prospective student member.
