Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it

Hear how students and practicing clinicians use Core Anesthesia achieve their learning goals.

This app/company makes continuing ed a breeze. Thorough yet concise content in a format you can squeeze in when it's convenient for you AND CRNA owned? Win win. An even bigger plus: the customer service is top notch – a rare thing these days! They worked with me to submit my credits out of their normal submission periods and were so kind. Will forever recommend Core!

Fantastic app and information. When I was a SRNA I would listen to their podcasts on my commute to clinicals, before tests and even as part of preparing for boards. Now that I am a CRNA I am able to use these podcasts as a refresher and also for CEU credits. I have and still recommend these podcasts, and now app, to SRNAs that I work with.

Core Anesthesia garners the name honestly. This app is full of critical care knowledge with anesthesia at the forefront. The hosts of the recordings are amazing and both have unique styles of explaining their information. Use this resource and keep your anesthesia information up

I've listened to every episode 2-3 times. They're short and easy to follow. Cole and Tanner have really helped to explain concepts which I have trouble understanding. I would recommend this podcast to anyone interested in the anesthesia field

Core anesthesia is so helpful to listen to while driving to and from clinical, while exercising, or walking my dog. The topics covered are so helpful. This app has helped me prepare for exams throughout my program and for the SEE exam.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every course is pre-approved by the AANA and counts as Class A CE credit toward your MAC Ed renewal.

They’re priced and built for different needs. CRNAs pay $59 a month (three-month minimum) or $599 a year for the full CE library and credit tracking. SRNAs pay $9.99 a month or $99 a year for coursework support, a custom quiz builder, and full library access. Both start with a free download.

You can still complete every course. You’ll just report your own completed credits to the NBCRNA instead of having Core Anesthesia report them for you automatically.
