Name change

In August 2021, the organization changed its name from "American Association of Nurse Anesthetists" to "American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology" as part of a rebranding effort.[1] This name change, along with the organization's endorsement of the descriptor "nurse anesthesiologist," was subsequently condemned by many physicians' groups, including the American Medical Association (AMA), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), American Board of Medical Specialties, American Osteopathic Association, American Board of Anesthesiology, and American Osteopathic Board of Anesthesiology.[2] These organizations state that the name change is misappropriating the anesthesiologist title, and that it is deceptive, misleading to patients, and causes confusion in care settings.[3][4]
