Master of Science in Anesthesia Program

The mission of Case Western Reserve University's Master of Science in Anesthesia Program is to train the best anesthetists in the world. Since 1970, the program has offered immerse opportunities in didactic instruction, simulation and hands-on clinical training. This rigorous curriculum enables students to work higher acuity cases, test their skills in emergency situations, and grow increasingly confident in the operating room—which is why nearly 100% of CWRU MSA graduates have job offers before graduation with starting salaries averaging $160,000 a year. In 2008, Case Western Reserve University expanded its program to greater serve the anesthesiology community and the growing anesthetists profession. Through a partnership with the University of Texas Houston Medical Center, CWRU opened a Houston location, which accepted its inaugural class in 2010. Building on that success, CWRU opened a Washington, D.C. location and accepted its inaugural class in 2012.
