Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant (CAA)

Overview

Assists the Anesthesiologist in developing and implementing an anesthesia care plan for a patient. Performs those duties established by rule by the Board of Medicine in any of the following functions while under the direct supervision of an Anesthesiologist who is present in the surgical or obstetrical suite when the procedure is being performed and who is in all instances immediately available to provide assistance and direction to the CAA while anesthesia services are being performed.

Job Highlights

We're building something. Medical City Dallas is launching its anesthesia care team model, and we want CAAs who want to help shape it from the ground up, not just fill a slot in an existing machine.

The Work

A broad adult surgical practice with real variety: General Surgery, GYN, Ortho, Urology, Plastics, Podiatry, ENT, GI, Bronchoscopy, and Radiology.

No cardiac.

No pediatrics.

No thoracic.

Some ortho trauma.

OB is an available, but optional way to earn extra money for the motivated.

You will practice at the full scope of your training. Arterial lines, central lines, regional blocks — if you're comfortable, you do it. If you want to build a skill, your supervising physician will work with you directly.

Collaborative Medical Direction with a Ratio: 1:1 to 1:4.

Schedule

• Four 10-hour shifts preferred. Other configurations negotiable
• One weekend every 8 weeks
• Home call once per week with a very low callback rate
• Optional OB shifts (days, nights, weekends) for those who want additional income
• This is not a nights-and-weekends grind. It's a schedule designed for people who have a life outside the hospital.

Compensation

• Base $214k for new grads, more based on years of experience
• $60k sign-on bonus
• Employer-subsidized health benefits
• 6 weeks PTO
• CME Allowance
• Opportunities to earn more with OB shifts
• 401(k) with company match
• Occurrence based malpractice

Group

Small tight-knit group that is expanding quickly. We value work‑life balance and take it seriously - this is a group where "family friendly" means something.

Medical City Dallas sits at the intersection of 635 and US-75, with easy access to DNT. Whether you live in Frisco, Plano, Allen, McKinney, Uptown, or Downtown, the commute is straightforward.

Why Now

The need for anesthesia services here is immediate and growing. We have full support from hospital leadership to expand. We are doing something more than filling positions; we’re building something from scratch. You won’t be joining an established hierarchy, you’ll be the leaders defining how this program operates, what the culture looks like, and how CAAs are integrated and respected long-term. That’s rare.

If you're a CAA who wants to take care of adults, work with physicians who respect your training, and help build something worth staying for, we want to hear from you.

Why DFW?

Here’s why Dallas‑Fort Worth is an easy sell: your paycheck goes further. Texas has no state income tax, and compared to coastal markets, housing is genuinely affordable, especially in the northern suburbs where most of our team lives. Families routinely find larger homes with yards at prices that would seem impossible in cities like San Francisco, New York, or Boston.

The suburbs are the draw, not a consolation prize. Plano and Frisco are frequently named among the best places to live in the U.S. for quality of life and family-friendly environments. Proximity to Medical City Dallas means easy access to DNT and the tollway system, a straight shot from most of Collin County.

The city has real cultural weight. The New York Times has called Dallas "the new Dubai" of high-end restaurants, and the dining scene backs that up. World-class performing arts, major league sports across every major sport, and a social scene that punches well above its weight.

Mild winters. Endless sunshine. Yes, the summers are hot, but you'll have no trouble staying cool with us inside the ORs.
