National Commission for Certification of Anesthesiologist Assistants (NCCAA)

The National Commission for Certification of Anesthesiologist Assistants (NCCAA) is a registered 501(c)(6) not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the state of Georgia. NCCAA certification provides assurances to the public that Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants (CAA) possess the knowledge, skills and competency to practice as CAAs. While individual states provide the legal credential for the practice of anesthesiologist assistants, private voluntary certification with the NCCAA indicates compliance with the professional standards for practice as an anesthesiologist assistant.

The certification credential for anesthesiologist assistants has been adopted by many health care facilities, practice groups and health systems as a requirement for practice. The certification credential for anesthesiologist assistants has also been recognized in state medical practice acts as well as state administrative rules and regulations.

Candidates should log into their NCCAA account to register for an exam. For questions or further assistance, please contact us at contact@nccaa.org.
