​AUSTIN, TEXAS— The Texas Association of Nurse Anesthetists (TxANA) stands resolutely against Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) participating in the training of Anesthesiologist Assistant (AA) students. While CRNAs have a long history of sharing expertise by training other professionals in specific clinical skills, such as airway management, there is a fundamental difference between training another provider in a particular skill and training another provider when their education levels do not align. Given the distinct differences between the roles, scopes of practice, and regulatory boards governing CRNAs and AAs, we assert that CRNAs must not be involved in AA education.
