October 7, 2025 AANA has teamed up with Contract Diagnostics to provide CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists and residents with expert support for reviewing and negotiating contracts, discussing partnerships, and analyzing compensation at any moment of a professional’s career. Addressing a critical need Employment contracts set the terms for compensation, work schedule, non-compete provisions, and benefits, such as professional development allowance. Yet many providers enter agreements without realizing how the fine print could affect their long-term career trajectory. Generic compensation data and complex legal language often leave CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists uncertain about their value or unaware of key clauses that can limit their practice. “I previously had the pleasure of working with Contract Diagnostics when negotiating my own contract, and it was an incredibly enlightening experience. They helped me transform what felt like a grey agreement into a clear, black-and-white understanding—with requests for modifications that honored self-protection, respected my time, and aligned with true market value compensation. That process gave me both knowledge and confidence in areas that were never addressed in training and that remain a barrier for many clinicians in healthcare.” Contract Diagnostics bridges this gap by providing specialized, CRNA-specific contract reviews and compensation analysis. With real-time contract data, personalized coaching, and flat-fee pricing, members can approach negotiations equipped with clarity and confidence.
