For decades, anesthesiology service lines have been predominantly provided by a combination of two types of providers: anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists (“CRNA(s)”). By definition, anesthesiologists are physicians who have (i) completed medical school; (ii) at least one year of a clinical base year residency; and (iii) three years of residency in an anesthesia program. Alternatively, CRNAs are advanced practice nurses who have (i) earned a baccalaureate degree; (ii) practiced at least one year as an acute care nurse; and (iii) successfully completed a graduate-level nurse anesthetist program.
