The majority of cases are orthopedic procedures, with additional urology, plastics, and straightforward general surgery.

CRNA’s in this position will be credentialled for both Foxboro and BWH main campus.

CRNAs also fulfill a teaching function for the Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists that rotate to the BWH from Northeastern University and Boston College for their clinical experience. Clinical research may be available as an adjunct for the CRNA who is interested in that area of practice, depending on protocols available, but it is not a department requirement, nor is it usually sponsored by the anesthesia department.
