The CRNAs of USC
The Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California incorporates CRNAs as an integral part of an expanding University-based Anesthesia Department with clinical, academic, research and administrative positions. Clinical CRNA roles include the Los Angeles County General Hospital and USC University Hospitals. Nurse Anesthetists participate in all clinical areas including trauma, neurosurgery, interventional neuroradiology, hepatobiliary, urology, pediatric, ENT, and orthopedic surgery. The USC Nurse Anesthetist performs preoperative and postoperative assessments, provides general, regional, and monitored anesthesia care. Our teaching responsibilities include didactic and clinical instruction for student registered nurse anesthetists through the USC program of Nurse Anesthesia.
