Advice please for Best Degree for CAA Route
#20
Don't forget, a first assistant can bill insurance for his or her role in the surgical procedure which is about 13 percent of the surgeon's rate. I would talk with an Ophthalmologist and get his take. Of course, he may simply pay a salary or salary with an override for extra work. There are many ways to negotiate pay. The MD makes the most in the OR and wants competent providers doing everything else even though he is trained to do it.

As far as an Optometrist needing the CSFA credential, that is unnecessary! The MD will hire and train them for their duties in the OR. However, since you brought it up, an Optometrist with a CSFA may be useful for first assisting in other areas, such as facial plastic surgery??

As far as audiology, I think it is an awesome career with excellent training. It will be interesting to see if all the "over-the-counter" advanced hearing aids coming out will impact the earnings of audiologists. I realize they specialize in other areas such as speech pathology, cochlear implants, tinnitus, military disability evaluations, profound hearing loss, etc.
