      How to Answer

      Due to the wide range of operations, surgeries, and procedures that exist, the breadth of an anesthesiologist assistant's previous experience can vary greatly from candidate to candidate. The interviewer is asking this question to better understand what types of operations, surgeries, and/or procedures the candidate has assisted with throughout their career. Depending on their experience, the candidate may have had extensive or limited experience and could have potentially assisted with transplants, trauma, neurosurgery, cardiac, general surgery, pain management, patient monitoring, and a variety of other procedures. To successfully answer this question, the candidate should be open and honest about their experiences in assisting with procedures and should clearly articulate the types of procedures they have assisted with in the past.



      For example, "Becuase most of my experience as an anesthesiology assistant has been in a large hospital, I have assisted with a wide variety of procedures, including transplants, trauma surgeries, neurosurgeries, cardiac, and general surgeries. I have worked on very complex cases who have large teams of doctors and working on then and on cases that are minor, routine surgeries, such as appendectomies. Because of my wide range of experience assisting with many types of procedures, I feel confident that I will be able to successfully care for patients who are undergoing procedures while I am employed at your organization."

      2nd Answer Example

      "Since my only job as an anesthesiologist assistant has been at an orthopedic surgery center, my past experience is limited to assisting with orthopedic surgeries. But, I have assisted with some complex cases that required long-term patient monitoring and post-op pain management. There have also been times where emergencies arose, and I followed appropriate ACLS protocols to administer life-saving care. So, even though my experience has been limited and I haven't worked on trauma patients or complex neurosurgery patients, not everything has been easy, and I have gained a lot of experience that will help me be successful as an anesthesiologist assistant at your organization."
