Imagine you had the opportunity to go to either a CRNA program or go into medical school with the intention of becoming an MDA. Which would you do?
some thoughts i had...
1. salaries for MDAs seem to be twice that of crna (average). but i have read that you can bill for the same amount as a crna that you can as an mda, is this true?
2.mda's generally seem to take more call, does this seem true to everyone out there?
3.i would get out of school a lot faster as a crna, and no crappy paying, all night residency.
4.more respected (apparently) as an mda.
these were my main thoughts, but if anyone else has any, please share them. i would like to hear your opinions on what you would do.
I was reading some of the criteria for admission to CRNA school and it reports that a minimum of one year acute care experience is require (it is up to the program what they call acute care).
