Hey everyone,
Third year DO student here. I've been really considering going for anesthesiology, it sounds awesome. However, my goal is to live in Colorado, a state that allows CRNAs to practice independently.
I know there's tons of threads about the CRNA issue, and I've read many of them. It seems that nobody really knows how things will turn out with this issue, so I'm sorry if this is redundant. I only ask these questions because I would be 100% on board for going anes, but if Colorado prospects are dim, that's kind of a deal breaker for me.
Is it a good idea to get into the field if the state that I want to practice in already has independent CRNAs? Would my job prospects or salary be affected? How would this impact me if I want to live in a rural mountain town vs Denver area? Would getting fellowship trained help? Thanks!
