In 1934, Gertrude Fife, President of the National Association of Nurse Anesthetists (NANA) sought to elevate the standards of anesthesia practice and standardize the education of nurse anesthetists. NANA members located schools, developed education standards and a school approval process, that eventually led to creation of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA) in 1975. Examination of historical documents demonstrated that COA developed into a well-known accreditation agency recognized by both governmental and non-governmental organizations, enhancing the standards of anesthesia education and promoting high-quality educational programs.
