"The results validate what we have known all along — that the quality of care and safety record of nurse anesthetists is of the highest caliber, regardless of supervision," AANA President James Walker said in a news release. Walker, who has a doctorate in nursing practice, is an associate professor of anesthesiology at Baylor College of Medicine and practices at Ben Taub General Hospital.

They are currently advertising positions for attendings at Ben Taub.

Don't know why. Seems like Mr Walker has it covered.

🙄

Can you imagine having to work with that guy?

F-that. I don't think you can pay me enough.

Why is a nurse a professor of ANESTHESIOLOGY at a medical school? You wouldn't find that where I am faculty. Baylor's a sell out. F them. I wonder if he practices cardiovascular and trauma anesthesia independently? I also find it mildly amusing that nearly all his publications are in a nursing journal that he is on the editorial board of, and that I have never heard of.:laugh:

Dude, i thought the EXACT SAME THING. Who the hell made that joker a professor? I feel sorry for their residents.

I'd refer to him as Mr Walker, and I doubt the department would be lame enough to have him around residents. Unless, of course, they were supervising him as seniors. I could understand that!
 
I don't mind working with him!
He will have to adhere strictly to the anesthetic plan I tell him to do, I would make sure to come to the room to push the induction drugs then check on him every 15 minutes to make sure he is not killing the patient.

He's likely a professor in the CRNA mill (i mean school). He's not listed as faculty in the anesthesiology dept.

Who's in control? The chair or someone higher up? Or do they just let nurses run wild and do whatever they want; claiming to be professors of anesthesiology at the medical school when they are professors of nurse anesthesia at the allied health division of the medical school?

I'd love to hear her defense or the defense of whoever decides to let this bs go on, probably for an insignificant amount of money relative to the total amount flowing through that department.

How can you employ some piece of sheet who stabs you in the back at every opportunity?

Right, that's the CRNA school. On the top right it reads 'School of allied health sciences". I doubt this dude would be teaching residents.

Of course he doesn't teach residents, they know more than him!, but it is still messed up that he is allowed to call himself a professor of anesthesiology at the baylor college of medicine. He isn't an anesthesiologist and doesn't practice medicine. His title should reflect his actual position.

WTF?


I'm starting to agree with you Plank.:laugh:

Nice post.

Assuming we must work with these tools. And that is exactly what they are, a tool to get the job done.

Interesting, I'm sure they don't have any trouble filling their residency positions with top candidates.

You sure about that?

I'm sorry, but it's the worst program in Cali, just sayin'.

It's also the most pro-CRNA program in Cali. Correlation?

". Under the guidance of expert CRNA and physician faculty primarily provided by the Keck School of Medicine/Department of Anesthesia faculty, resident nurse anesthetists are responsible for the administration and management of general anesthesia, regional anesthetic techniques and modalities of invasive monitoring. Students also receive experience in acute and chronic pain management. The Program offers an optional Specialty Fellowship in a variety of anesthesia specialties"

They've got their eye on your pain practice 2win. Our fellowships are a year, theirs are probably 3 months.🙄 I bet they get a certificate suitable for framing!
They, like several others, also bastardize the use of the word resident, which by definition refers to advanced physician training.

Main Entry: 2resident
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
1 : one who resides in a place
2 : a diplomatic agent residing at a foreign court or seat of government; especially : one exercising authority in a protected state as representative of the protecting power
3 : a physician serving a residency
 
My point exactly.

Now do you guys see why I'm not so impressed with USC? 😎

Just curious, but what do the residents at BCM have to say about all of this? I didnt interview there but I did look at USC and I am not surprised to hear that they have such an active CRNA program. That department was a joke. I went there thinking that I would rank it in my top 5 but left surprised that it was even accredited.
