CRNA: Scope of Practice: CRNAs are educated and trained to work with or without anesthesiologist supervision. CRNAs are also educated and trained to exercise independent judgment and to respond quickly to anesthetic emergencies (Without an MD - Anesthesiologist Present).

AA : Scope of Practice: Since Anesthesiologist Assistants safely work under the close supervision of an anesthesiologist (MD), they work in an Anesthesia Care Team and quickly respond in any emergency situation. Anesthesiologist Assistants practice in the Anesthesia Care Team model which has proven to be the safest way to practice anesthesia when immediate action is required.
