Question
Hello,

I'm 19 and getting my associates degree in medical assisting in a business college with the goal of becoming an anesthesiologist. I want to know the smartest path to take course wise in my future to make this goal possible.
I take this very seriously and would appreciate a response.

Thank You!

Answer
An associates degree will not help you. You need a full 4-yr Bachelors degree to apply to medical school. I am sure some of your credits will transfer over to your Bachelors so the sooner you transfer over, the better.
