The scope of duties is similar to that of nurse anesthetists, but anesthesiology assistants generally do not hold a nursing degree. Nurse anesthetists may be qualified to perform anesthesiology duties independently, while anesthesiology assistants always work under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. Salary and benefits are comparable for both positions.
