South University - Savannah Georgia AA Program Overview:
South University, Savannah and the Mercer University School of 
Medicine, based in Macon and Savannah, Georgia, have developed a 
relationship to bring together the unique resources of each institution 
to establish a Master of Medical Science in Anesthesia Science degree 
program to maintain an educational program of the highest quality. Our 
Anesthesiologist Assistant program consists of 160 quarter hours of 
classroom, laboratory and clinical work taking place over the course of 
nine quarters or 28 months. 
You’ll spend the first year of
 the Anesthesiologist Assistant program in the classroom and laboratory 
with escalating clinical responsibilities. The second year of the 
program consists of multiple full-time, month-long clinical rotations in
 practice settings, incorporating a full range of surgical procedures 
involving neonate through geriatric at all levels and depth of illness. 
Following
 the instruction by the Mercer University School of Medicine and upon 
completion of the South University Anesthesiologist Assistant degree 
program you will be prepared to work as a member of the anesthesia care 
team under the direction of a qualified physician anesthesiologist, 
administering anesthesia care to all ages, degrees of illness and for 
the entire spectrum of surgical procedures. 
Mercer 
University currently provides instruction in anesthesia for medical 
students and surgical residents at the Macon campus and at Memorial 
Health University Medical Center in Savannah. Mercer’s participation in 
South University’s program extends beyond Anesthesiologist faculty 
members for the program into membership in program committees. 
The
 Mercer University School of Medicine administration is represented in 
all governing committees to provide their medical education expertise to
 the program. South University, through its College of Health 
Professions, will provide basic science, instrumentation and monitoring
