This week on Joint Effort PAs, we’re putting the spotlight on another vital member of the surgical team — the CRNA. 💉 We’re joined by a certified registered nurse anesthetist who shares what it’s really like behind the drape — from her training and scope of practice to how she works alongside PAs, surgeons, and anesthesiologists. We break down the differences and surprising overlaps between the PA and CRNA roles, discuss patient care from both sides of the table, and talk teamwork in the OR.
🎧 Tune in for an honest & informative conversation that proves one thing: different roles, same team.
