CRNA Practice Law & Requirements in Maine

CRNAs in Maine enjoy some level of autonomy in their practice, allowing them to provide comprehensive anesthesia care while collaborating closely with other healthcare professionals. In Maine, CRNAs can administer anesthesia without the need for an anesthesiologist to be on-site. However, CRNAs are responsible for aspects of anesthesia practice that require a medical regime, and must be accountable to a physician.
