Kansas City University has opened admissions for its new Master of Health Science in Anesthesiologist Assistant program, which will begin in January 2026 at the Farber-McIntire campus in Joplin, Mo. 

According to an Aug. 1 news release, the program aims to address the ongoing shortage of anesthesia providers. The curriculum will cover anesthesia principals, pharmacology, patient assessment and advanced anesthesia practice techniques with hands-on clinical experiences. 

The course will prepare students for the certification exam offered through the National Commission for the Certification of Anesthesiologist Assistants.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
