Why do you think that is? CRNAs can provide adequate care in most anesthesia scenarios, but even they know who the experts in anesthesia are.


Do you think physician anesthesiologist knew anything about anesthesia prior to entering their residency? Sure, they went to medical school but do you think they knew how to provide an anesthetic, manage the anesthetic, and wake people up? I will answer that for you, NO, they didn’t. CRNA’s and physician anesthesiologist go through the same clinical training and CRNA’s actually have 1-2 full years of specific anesthesia schooling. The residents at Vanderbilt, back in the late 90’s, met once a week to discuss anesthesia. They were no more clinically superior than some of the CRNA’s. They are both qualified to do the same job but only one usually does the job.

lmao 'physician anesthesiologist' is the only kind of anesthesiologist. cRNA's are anesthetists. it is not demeaning to their work to acknowledge a differential expertice in the field. Suggesting otherwise is very disingenuous. people should know and understand that difference and the importance of it which you are either ignorant of or shamefully mistruthful.

Yeah, from their third and fourth year rotations.

Nice of you to prove your ignorance early in the post, but let’s keep going.

Wrong again. Anesthesia residency is 4 years, plus many do a fellowship for a fifth year. So unless 1-2 = 4-5, you need to rethink this. You won’t, but you should.

CRNAs go through 2 years of clinical rotations in medical school followed by 4-5 years of 80+ hr/weeks in accredited residency programs led by physicians? That doesn't sound correct to me.
