The Master of Science degree in anesthesiology is open to students who have completed a baccalaureate degree from an institution recognized by Case Western Reserve University. Baccalaureate degrees in biology, chemistry, and physics are preferred. Students who have received a baccalaureate degree in other than a science may qualify for admission to the program if they have completed a year of biology with laboratory, two years of chemistry with laboratory (including organic chemistry), a year of physics with laboratory and a year of calculus. Students who have not completed a degree in a science or satisfied the above science requirements will not be considered for admission until these requirements are satisfied. Students with qualifications believed to be sufficient to warrant waiver of these requirements may petition the department for special dispensation.
Students interested in obtaining admission to the program are required to present an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 and to complete the Graduate Record Examination General Test with scores at least above the median. Students will be selected by an intrafaculty committee which will review academic credentials and test scores, assess work or non academic experiences/expertise, and conduct personal interviews and administer tests in physiology, anatomy and clinical readiness.
The program runs on a year-round basis for two years. A sequence would begin in summer and run continuously for the equivalent of six semesters. Fall and spring semesters coincide with the regular University calendar and utilize some existing University courses. The summer semesters are a continuum of activity, primarily devoted to clinical anesthesia. The initial clinical summer is utilized as a screening period and a time of orientation into the basic clinical aspects of the specialty. The second clinical summer and the last academic year consist of full-time clinical and theoretical anesthesiology.
Students who have had human physiology/anatomy in the past two years can elect to take an examination to facilitate a waiver of physiology/biophysics requirements. If successful these students will be assigned research projects in various areas of basic science--clinical practice correlation to further enchance their academic and clinical acumen.
The course of study consists of 56 graduate credit hours.
