This opening calls for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist to work in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, at UPMC Williamsport. The anesthesia work spans a broad mix of procedures, including cardiac, plastic, thoracic, vascular, trauma, and pediatric cases.

The employer highlights flexibility as a core part of the role, with a choice of several shift lengths and the option to self-schedule so that work fits around personal commitments. Candidates would also gain exposure to many surgical specialties and build their skills across them.

Day-to-day, the CRNA delivers anesthetic care to patients of all types under the direction of a supervising or medically directing physician, following Anesthesiology department standards and hospital policy. Responsibilities include administering anesthesia so patients do not feel pain during surgery, watching for reactions to sedatives, analgesics, and anesthetic agents, and alerting the anesthesiologist to any adverse condition that could threaten a patient's safety.

The anesthesia care covers four areas: preparing and evaluating patients beforehand, managing induction, maintenance, and emergence, providing post-anesthesia care, and supplying peri-anesthesia clinical support. The CRNA is also accountable for controlled substances under department, hospital, state, and federal rules, confirms consent paperwork and the correct surgical site with the operating team, and takes part in quality improvement through case documentation, incident reporting, and education.

The position includes helping train newly hired CRNAs, student registered nurse anesthetists, and graduate registered nurse anesthetists in the clinical setting. The employer describes a collaborative group of experienced professionals committed to high-quality care and a health system deeply rooted in its community.
