New York Practice Law & Requirements

Are advanced degrees currently required?

Not required.

Is there an explicit new graduate provision?

The rules and regulations of the State of New York Department of Health known as “Medical Facilities—Minimum Standards” (10 NYCRR Subchapter A) specify that a certified registered nurse anesthetist is a qualified practitioner of anesthesia services [Section 405.13(a)(1)(iv)]. The term “certified
registered nurse anesthetist” is not defined in the state’s “Medical Facilities—Minimum Standards” rules and regulations, and the Department of Health utilizes the definition found in federal regulations [42 CFR Section 410.69(b)], which includes in the definition of “certified registered nurse anesthetist,” a “graduate of a [nurse anesthesia educational program that meets the Standards of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse
Anesthesia Programs who] . . . within 24 months after that graduation meets the requirements of paragraph (4)(i) of this definition [i.e., passes the certification examination].” [Letter dated April 25, 1996, from Maryellen Evans, Provider Group Coordinator, State of New York Department of Health]
