Video Transcription

Video Summary

Panel members discussed the use of terms like "student nurse anesthetist," "registered nurse anesthesia resident," and "resident registered nurse anesthetist." They highlighted the importance of flexibility in choosing descriptors for students in nurse anesthesia programs. Different programs have varying preferences, with some concerned about potential restrictions on clinical experiences. There was a suggestion for the Council on Accreditation to issue a statement acknowledging the acceptability of multiple terms. Participants emphasized the impact of terminology on perceptions and the need for respectful communication. The discussion also addressed the influence of local institutions on credentialing and the importance of considering data to assess the effects of changing descriptors.
