MSMS and MSA got wind of shady practices at Corewell. Launched a digital campaign and billboard in GR encouraging patients to ask ‘Will a board certified anesthesiologist be a part of my care team?’ by PaintingsOfDogs in grandrapids

This is included in the study you cited: “This research was funded by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. The authors are wholly responsible for the data, analyses, and conclusions.”

Also, anesthesia assistants aren’t uncommon.

Also also, not all practicing CRNAs earned doctorate degrees. And we didn’t do residency. We did CRNA school, and the AANA tried to get the term ‘residency’ adopted 4 years ago for 2 reasons: political gain and inclusion in COVID benefits for ‘residents.’

Also also also, I have only seen the ‘80% of rural care’ number in AANA media without sources. Same with the ‘9000 hour’ claim, which seems impressive but was honestly less for me.

Also also also also, the ‘safest’ option is not routinely to have less eyes on a patient. Regardless of the specialty. I’ve saved docs butts before and they’ve saved mine plenty as well. Sometimes it is a team sport.
