Just putting this out there for discussion. Seems like the AMA is finally stepping up.

"In New Hampshire, only licensed MDs and DOs who have gone through the extensive specialty training in anesthesiology will be allowed to call themselves anesthesiologists.
A recent New Hampshire Supreme Court decision upheld a New Hampshire Board of Medicine (NHBOM) ruling that prevents people from identifying themselves as anesthesiologists if they are not licensed as such.
The NHBOM voted to take that stance after the state’s nursing board approved a position statement in 2019 that let certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) call themselves “nurse anesthesiologists.” The New Hampshire Association of Nurse Anesthetists asked New Hampshire’s highest court to throw out NHBOM’s ruling.
The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruling is a win for the Litigation Center of the American Medical Association and State Medical Societies and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), which filed a joint amicus brief urging the court to uphold the NHBOM ruling."
Court: "Anesthesiologist" title is restricted to MDs, DOs
New Hampshire CRNAs’ bid to be called “nurse anesthesiologists” is rejected by the state’s top court.
