Your daily clinical practice will place you at the heart of patient care in a setting that values both autonomy and team-based safety. As a CRNA, you will be the primary provider in the OR, performing a wide range of cases and procedures. While you work independently in the operating rooms, the MD anesthesiologists provide pre-operative evaluations, assist with difficult cases, and remain available for emergency response, offering a reassuring layer of support.
You’ll rotate through two consistently running ORs Monday through Friday, with the facility planning to scale up to three ORs on select days. The patient population includes a variety of general surgical, orthopedic, and obstetric cases. CRNAs also provide epidural services and emergency response backup, including for OB emergencies.
Your clinical work will encompass a broad range of procedures with a focus on general surgery, OB, and emergency cases. You’ll occasionally assist in orthopedic trauma, including time-sensitive fractures. While complex pediatric surgery is not a major part of the practice, a basic comfort level with patients aged 4 and up is important. During rare weather-related surges, such as snowstorms, your role becomes even more critical in addressing emergency needs.
The call structure is intentionally designed to minimize disruption. MDs take primary call during their two weeks on, while CRNAs provide epidural and emergency coverage as backup. When you’re off, you’re entirely disconnected—no call, no hospital contact.
The hospital uses the Epic electronic medical record system, a leading platform that supports smooth documentation and real-time care coordination. This enhances both safety and efficiency, letting you focus more on clinical care and less on administrative burden.
You’ll join a culture where surgeons and proceduralists are described as exceptionally thoughtful about anesthesia time and resource utilization. There’s no wasted effort or unnecessary procedures. Everything you do contributes meaningfully to patient outcomes.
