Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals to advance our mission.

We are looking for enthusiastic and collegial team players to join our growing Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists practice. We are a group of 20 CRNAs that work in the Anesthesia Care Team model in a wide variety of locations/specialties in our 47 ORs, as well as many out-of-OR locations, OB, (no pediatrics), and our surgi-center in Foxborough. Ongoing professional development is well-supported and encouraged in areas such as quality improvement, academics, and research with a generous education allowance. We offer flexible schedules (no weekends, holidays, or on-call) recognizing the importance of work-life balance for our colleagues. If you value outstanding clinical care, mutual respect, and a collaborative work environment, apply and come join the Brigham Anesthesia family.

A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) is responsible for the pre-operative, intra-operative, and immediate post-operative care of the patient requiring anesthesia for surgical, medical, therapeutic, or diagnostic procedures. This care includes, but is not limited to, pre-operative assessments, anesthetic care plans, assembly and care of specialized equipment; application, insertion and interpretation of data from anesthetic monitors; airway management; delivery of general, regional anesthesia, and monitored anesthetic care; induction, maintenance, and emergence of the patient; care of the patient in the immediate post-operative setting; and post-operative assessments in collaboration with a physician member of the Department of Anesthesiology. These services are rendered in the main operating rooms, Labor and Delivery, and designated "Out of OR" anesthesia locations (i.e., Radiology, MRT, etc.) CRNAs also fulfill a teaching function for the Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists that rotate to the BWH from Northeastern University for their clinical experience. Clinical research may be available as an adjunct for the CRNA who is interested in that area of practice, depending on protocols available, but it is not a department requirement, nor is it usually sponsored by the anesthesia department. All CRNAs must comply with federal, state, hospital, and departmental guidelines as they pertain to the delivery of anesthesia care at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
