NBCRNA serves as the national certifying body responsible for both the initial and ongoing certification of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). Its credentialing programs are designed to enhance patient safety by supporting lifelong learning and sustained professional competence in nurse anesthesia. With more than 63,000 certified CRNAs across the United States, the organization is based in Chicago, Illinois, and operates as a small to mid-sized entity. Positioned within the Hospitals and Health Care sector, NBCRNA focuses on credentialing and professional standards to maintain certification continuity for nurse anesthetists. A notable development is the introduction of the Maintaining Anesthesia Certification (MAC) Program in August 2024, representing a new approach to continued certification.
