NBCRNA Update – Clearing Up Confusion Around the New MAC Program

Beyond The Mask: Innovation & Opportunities For CRNAs

We’ve seen and heard a lot of questions about the new Maintaining Anesthesia Certification (MAC) Program from the NBCRNA so we’re going to tackle as many of those as we can head-on with incoming president Garry Brydges, PhD, DNP, MBA, CRNA, ACNP-BC, FAAN. This innovative four-year program is designed to streamline credentialing and reflect CRNA's commitment to continuous improvement in safe, quality patient care, and we’ll discuss all of the details today.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

The history of the CPC program and all of the dialogue surrounding it at the beginning.

What is the role of the Board of Nursing compared to the NBCRNA?

Why do the modules go away?

What can you expect from the questions and how are they evaluating scores?

Why do they want to know how confident you are in answers?
