CRNA work overseas

I was wondering about the possibility of CRNAs working overseas. I would like to devote at least a little time each year to doing mission work in Africa and possibly other places in the world with this maybe becoming a full-time career at some point. Can CRNAs practice in these places? I know that the need for medical professionals at mission hospitals is high but I assume that they still need to abide by the rules of the country. Are CRNAs allowed to practice in these places?

Bryan, I applaud your interst in helping the less fortunate of the world. Personally, I give all my charity $ support to Mercy Ships International

but there are many other organizations out there, and many CRNAs who regularly lead medical outreach missions.

Nurse anesthetists do work in some one hundred nations around the globe.

And of course, the US military will also send you to some of the darnedest places on earth.

I wish someone could tell me what those countries are! I've searched high, low, left, right, up, down, and sideways for a list of the "107 countries where nurse anesthetists are employed" (according to my CRNA program's web site). They don't know where the information came from. Neither does AANA, nor does IFNA. Everyone says it's someone else's list, and nobody seems to know where the figure comes from.

I've tapped all the resources I know of to tap. Anyone else have a clue?
