Welcome to the very first episode of the Pre-AA Pathways podcast!

In this inaugural episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the inspiration behind this platform. We discuss the unique challenges of the Pre-AA journey, the need for a dedicated community for aspiring Anesthesiologist Assistants, and our mission to provide the clarity and resources you need to navigate this journey.

Whether you are just discovering the AA profession or are already deep in your science prerequisites, this episode sets the stage for everything to come.

In this episode, we cover:

• The "Why" behind the Pre-AA Pathways mission
• What you can expect from future episodes
• How to stay connected with a community that understands the grind
