In the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, nurse anesthetists and anesthesiologists have a collegial relationship based on mutual respect. The relationship encompasses shared knowledge, academic passion, and quality patient care in a stimulating health care environment. Nurse anesthetists are appreciated for the consistently high quality of anesthesia they administer as well as the depth of medical knowledge and experience they bring to the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine. The CRNA staff forms an integral part of the anesthesia care team at the UC Davis Medical Center.

We are a clinical training site for the Samuel Merritt College nurse anesthetist program and the U.S. Air Force nurse anesthetist program from David Grant Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base. At the UC Davis Medical Center, students work closely with attendings, senior CRNA staff and senior residents. Our institution provides them with a valuable training experience that can only be gained at an academic Level One trauma center.  SRNAs leave their rotation having received a quality and well rounded experience.
