Enroll in the Anesthesia Technician Training Program

_ Hybrid / Distance Education Program _

The Anesthesia Technician (AT) program prepares students to work as entry-level anesthesia technicians in hospitals and outpatient surgical centers. Anesthesia technicians are primarily responsible for setting up the operating room by cleaning, sterilizing, and preparing the equipment and instruments needed for anesthesia. They also assist anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists throughout surgical procedures. 

The Anesthesia Technician program at AIMS Education is taught through a combination of lecture, lab, and clinical hours. Hands-on training in our on-campus surgical lab will help students develop the skills needed to work in this field. Anesthesia tech students will also gain practical experience during mandatory clinical internship courses.

Students in the Anesthesia Technician program will learn the basic principles of anesthesia practice, which includes patient positioning, airway management, IV therapy, blood transfusion, emergent perioperative medications, and sterilization techniques. By the end of the program, students will also have a firm understanding of how anesthesia machines function.

Other important topics covered in this program include neurophysiological monitoring, gas analyzers, infusion pumps, ventilators, local and regional anesthesia methods, assisting with intubation and extubation, and diagnostic, interventional, and emergency procedures.
