Multiple opportunities exist for students to participate as student representatives from their class in local, regional, and national meetings and conferences as MTSA promotes and encourages student’s participation in local, regional and national committees that govern CRNAs. Students are elected to these positions by their class, and appointment is confirmed by administration. MTSA financially supports a student representative to attend selected professional conferences. These activities are intended to promote learning about CRNA issues as well as enhance development of specific professional aspects in their behavior. These conferences may include but are not limited to: Tennessee Association of Nurse Anesthetists (TANA) Annual Conference, American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) Congress, AANA MidYear Assembly, and Tennessee Legislative Day on Capitol Hill.
