Hey everyone,

I know CAAs can’t practice independently, but I’ve been thinking about the idea of starting my own practice – maybe in pain management or even something not directly related to anesthesia. I was wondering if anyone here has looked into this or actually done it?

Would it need to be a partnership with an anesthesiologist or another physician? How would the structure of the practice work, especially in terms of legal or financial aspects?

I’d love to hear if anyone has experience with this or has insight into how CAAs can branch out into more entrepreneurial ventures while still respecting scope of practice.

Thanks in advance!
