Report of the National Commission on Nurse Anesthesia Education. Current and future perspectives regarding the framework for nurse anesthesia education: military education of nurse anesthetists and the case for centralized academic programs with multiple clinical affiliates (USAF).

Advantages of such a move are seen to far outweigh any disadvantages of the program.
