What is a Client Profile?
The key to National Anesthesia's success
is finding out as much as we can about your staff
and facility ahead of time. The first step in this
process is to obtain a thorough client profile.
One of our specially-trained medical recruiters
will speak with you to gather detailed information
about the size of your facility, number of ORs,
current staffing, types of procedures, average caseload,
etc.

office and have them provide National Anesthesia

What if a Client
has Scheduling Changes?
Please notify your medical recruiter of any modifications
that need to be made. Whether the change is in provider
coverage dates or a need for additional providers,
National Anesthesia will strive to accommodate
your requests. The more notice you can provide for
your medical recruiter, the easier it will be to
make the appropriate change.

How Much Notice
Does a Client Need to Cancel Coverage?
National Anesthesia understands that situations
and needs change. If this occurs, please contact
your medical recruiter immediately, as we require
a 30-day notice of termination. Once a provider
commits to your assignment, he or she stops pursuing
other opportunities for that time period. This notice
allows us time to find another assignment for the
Anesthesiologist or CRNA.
