dear members,

i just wanted your opinion on this. i am currently trying to gather some information about crna's vs. anesthesiology assistants. i wanted to know your opinion on the job; i know that a cnra has more autonomy compared to an aa, since they can work without a physician right over them while an aa can only assist a physician giving anesthesiology. is there a lot of anger over the creation of aa's? are they planning on giving crna's even more autonomy such that they can do everything by themselves? thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

best,
