re: Defeat the Nurse Practitioner scope of practice expansion - Louisiana SB 187

He's not even talking about residencies. He's talking about CRNA training. I'm not saying that military CRNA training is not great training for a CRNA. What I'm saying is that the training can't compare to anesthesiology residencies. For starters medical school and the necessary fundamental education of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and surgical specialties/considerations is not a requirement to get in. Also, although wounded and potentially needing massive resuscitation, wouldn't the patients by in large be overall healthy and physically fit? I'd imagine you could get some good experience in resuscitation and possibly regional anesthesia, but how can one be adequately trained without doing patients of all ages and demographics - I.e. the 100 year old patient with aortic stenosis/COPD/pulmonary hypertension, sick children with congenital cardiac defects, high risk OB, etc? The list goes on and on. You see these type of patients regularly at any decent anesthesiology residency program - for 4 years too, not 24-36 months.
