General Track Application Process

Please note:

• If you are re-applying to the Emory AA Program, please click here.

• If you received your undergraduate degree from outside of the United States, please click here and review the section titled "International Graduates."

• If your application was "incomplete" last year (you did not submit all items or submitted items after the deadline), please click here.

The on-line application must be supported with printed documents which you date, sign, and mail to the Program Office, along with your application fee.  Instructions for application and the supporting documents are in PDF files. 

To view and print the PDF files, you must have Adobe Reader installed on your computer. If you do not have Adobe Reader, you can download a free copy from Adobe.

1. Print out the Application Instructions file.  Use those instructions as a guideline and checklist to complete and submit your application.

2. View and print the Description of Program file, which contains information about the program, curriculum, clinical work, the profession, and practice.

3. Print out the Reference Forms and complete your section of each of the three reference forms.  Provide one form and a return envelope to each of your three references.  Do this as soon as possible because your application will not be complete until all three references have been received.

4. Complete the online application.  You may first see a page indicating a problem with the website security certificate. To continue onto the application, please select the second option, "Continue to this website." Leave no section incomplete.  Double check the application before submitting.  You will need to have copies of all of your transcripts (unofficial or official) in front you to complete some fields in the application. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

5. Obtain a current, full color passport-sized photograph.  Do not copy your passport - send an original color photograph, which is readily available from Kinko's or similar business.

6. Send a check or money order payable to Emory University for $60.00 in payment of the nonrefundable application fee.

7. Print out, complete, date, and sign all six supporting documents:

   Documentation of Familiarity with Anesthesia Practice
   Documentation Concerning Technical Standards
   Documentation Concerning Infectious and Communicable Diseases

   Criminal Background Check Process

   Drug Screen Release Form

   Applicant Statement

8. Send all six supporting documents (along with the passport photograph and payment of application fee) to the Program Office.

9. Have transcripts from all graduate and undergraduate institutions in which you have been enrolled mailed to the Program Office.  Request transcripts as soon as possible because delay in receipt of transcripts is one of the most common reasons that applications remain incomplete.

10. If you have any prerequisite courses in progress, include proof of enrollment in the courses (e.g., unofficial transcript, letter from the registrar's office).

11. All supporting documents, passport-sized photograph, payment of application fee, and other communications should be mailed to the Program Office:
    
    MMSc Program in Anesthesiology
    57 Executive Park South - Suite 300
    Atlanta, GA  30329

Note:

The online, electronic application, along with the supporting printed documents, constitute a complete  application for admission – they are not an offer of admission or a contract for enrollment.  Qualification criteria specified in the application are the minimum criteria, and no applicant is guaranteed admission to the Program, even though he/she may meet the minimum criteria.  Emory University reserves the right to select for admission those applicants it deems best qualified for admission, while complying with all applicable laws.  Emory University reserves the right to determine program size and/or cancel the program.

The application period is open from August through December of each year for matriculation in late August of the following year.  The application deadline for the 2011 matriculating class is December 30, 2010. All supporting documents must be received no later than December 30, 2010.  Only complete applications are considered for review by the admissions committee. Please submit electronic applications only.  No hard-copy applications will be accepted.

Only complete applications will be considered for review.  Incomplete applications will not be considered.

The applicant is solely responsible for completion of his/her application.  The program is not responsible for deficiencies due to the US postal service or third parties in order to complete an applicant's request for supporting documents.  Failure to provide complete and accurate information or providing false information will result in immediate withdrawal from admissions consideration.

All applicants should be aware that gaining admissions to the Emory Anesthesiologist Assistant Program is highly competitive.  No applicants are guaranteed admissions to the program, even when the general requirements are met.

The program office is CLOSED on December 31st. The application for the 2011 class must be submitted online by 11:59 pm December 30, 2010.  All supporting documents must be received by the program office no later than December 30, 2010 (there will be a drop box outside of the office).
