The CRNA delivers anesthetic care to patients of all types, working with the supervising or medically directing physician under the Department of Anesthesiology's standards and hospital policies.

Responsibilities include being accountable for controlled substances under department, hospital, state, and federal rules, and helping teach and evaluate newly hired CRNAs, GRNAs, and SRNAs in the clinical area. The CRNA covers anesthesia care across pre-anesthetic evaluation and preparation, induction, maintenance and emergence, post-anesthesia care, and peri-anesthesia clinical support. Work must follow established policies, procedures, and regulatory standards.

The CRNA reviews informed consent documentation and confirms the correct surgical site with operating room staff and the surgeon, in line with departmental and regulatory compliance requirements. The role also contributes to quality improvement through case documentation, incident reporting, evaluation, education, and carrying out the QI plan.
