The chapter contains a brief history of the educational development of nurse anesthesia from the mid-nineteenth century till date in selected member countries of the International Federation of Nurse Anesthetist (IFNA).

The chapter contains a brief history of the educational development of nurse anesthesia from the mid-nineteenth century till date in selected member countries of the International Federation of Nurse Anesthetist (IFNA). After a long period of on-the-job-training and being part of the basic nursing education, formal nurse anesthesia education started in most countries in the late 1940s until the mid-1950s as a postgraduate specialty. In some countries, it was even later. In the USA, it was much earlier. Educational schemes do vary despite a similar scope of practice in most of IFNA’s member countries. In an attempt to harmonize and improve the quality of nurse anesthesia education, IFNA introduced global professional standards from its beginning. These were regularly revised and eventually re- written into a competency-based framework. In 2010, an international recognition process for nurse anesthesia programs was started. (Less)
