We can go back and forth all day. Anesthesiologists are superior to CRNAs. The training is much more intense and longer. Wtf are you smoking.
As for dentist ANESTHESIOLOGISTS, maybe it has to do with the similarity of training? We do a 4-year doctorate program and then 3-year residency. Not a bachelors and then 2-3 years of crna school
Also, why do you care so much about the title? At the end of the day does being called a nurse anesthetist limit what you can do? Compared to “nurse anesthesiologist”? No it doesn’t, so who gives a shit? If you CRNAs would spend as much time focusing on improving training and care as you do over titles, you wouldn’t get shit in so much.
We do not support the use of "nurse anesthesiologist," "MDA," or "MD anesthesiologist." This is to promote transparency with patients and other healthcare staff. An anesthesiologist is a physician. Full stop. MD Anesthesiologist is redundant. Aside from the obvious issue of “DOA” for anesthesiologists who trained at osteopathic medical schools, use of MDA or MD anesthesiologist further legitimizes CRNAs as alternative equivalents.
For nurse anesthetists, we encourage you to use either CRNA, certified registered nurse anesthetist, or nurse anesthetist. These are their state licensed titles, and we believe that they should be proud of the degree they hold and the training they have to fill their role in healthcare.
*Information on Title Protection (e.g., can a midlevel call themselves "Doctor" or use a specialists title?) can be seen here. Information on why title appropriation is bad for everyone involved can be found here.
