Abstract

In 1934, Gertrude Fife, President of the National Association of Nurse Anesthetists (NANA) sought to elevate the standards of anesthesia practice and standardize the education of nurse anesthetists. NANA members located schools, developed education standards and a school approval process, that eventually led to creation of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA) in 1975. Examination of historical documents demonstrated that COA developed into a well-known accreditation agency recognized by both governmental and non-governmental organizations, enhancing the standards of anesthesia education and promoting high-quality educational programs.

摘要

1934 年，美国国家麻醉护师协会（NANA）主席格特鲁德·菲夫（Gertrude Fife）致力于提高麻醉实践标准并规范麻醉护师教育。NANA 的成员们寻找学校，制定教育标准和学校审批程序，最终导致 1975 年成立了麻醉护师教育项目认证委员会（COA）。对历史文件的研究表明，COA 发展成为一个知名的认证机构，得到政府和非政府组织的认可，提高了麻醉教育标准，促进了高质量的教育项目。注：本文第一部分刊登在 2020 年 4 月的《美国麻醉护师协会杂志》上。
