- Abstract
The demand for CRNA educators and program administrators is high. The role of the CRNA program administrator is challenging and arguably different from that of other advanced practice nursing specialty track directors. A significant increase in the number of nurse anesthesia programs, clinical sites, and graduates has been accompanied by a 10% to 20% annual turnover rate in nurse anesthesia program administrators. To ensure the long-term viability of nurse anesthesia programs in their diverse academic units, the AANA (American Association of Nurse Anesthetists) Education Committee, with the support of the AANA Board of Directors, has included faculty recruitment and retention strategies in its strategic plan since 2003. As part of those strategies, a statement on the unique responsibilities of nurse anesthesia program directors has been developed. The Education Committee invites further feedback on this topic.
