The AANA Journal is the official peer-reviewed scholarly journal of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. In the Journal, original manuscripts foster the understanding of the science of anesthesia delivery and investigate issues, ideas and innovations that advance the practice of nurse anesthesia. Authors submit original research, case reports, survey/review articles, letters to the editor, as well as regularly featured columns. Each issue carries an ongoing continuing education series, the AANA Journal Course, for which Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) receive 6 credits upon completion.
