Anesthesiology, CRNA

The CRNA will work in a multi-disciplinary surgical setting which serves mid-Missouris only academic health center and most comprehensive health care network in mid-Missouri. Surgical volumes and aggressive recruitment in surgical specialties are prompting the growth in OR facilities and creating the need to recruit for additional CRNA staff.

The CRNA will be responsible for the administration of general, regional, local and MAC anesthesia to a variety of patients in multiple settings. All CRNAs will act under the supervision of our Chief Nurse Anesthetist and be medically directed by an anesthesiologist to provide patient care at University Hospital, Missouri Orthopaedic Institute, Keene Street Medical, or Fairview Digestive Health Clinic.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to pre-operative assessments, case reviews, OR preparation, documentation and charting, post-operative monitoring, and starting IVs, placing NG/OG tubes, and emergency airway management when requested by other providers or services. In addition to the clinical responsibilities, the CRNA will work directly with and mentor nurse anesthetist students along with other professionals working, training, and observing with the Anesthesiology Department.

Flexible shifts and varied schedules are also possible. Only 1 to 2 at home beeper call weekends per year with the opportunity to easily trade. Opportunities exist to pick up extra shifts at an hourly rate. Opportunities for signing bonus available. Additional bonus for new graduates of nurse anesthetist training programs.
