Non administrative faculty members each sign an agreement contract with Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia (MTSA) which is reviewed for renewal annually by the appropriate Program Administrator/Director. The position is reviewed and reaffirmed by the appropriate Program Administrator/Director during an annual meeting with the faculty member to discuss performance and continuation of faculty appointment. 

Clinical preceptors do not sign a specific contract with MTSA. The clinical affiliate appoints a CRNA clinical coordinator* for each clinical site(an anesthesiologist may serve in this capacity). A contract with the affiliate anesthesia group includes an agreement that its anesthesia providers will be clinical preceptors/supervisors/instructors of MTSA students in the affiliation. The eligibility to instruct is determined by the affiliate; however, MTSA has the right to refuse to approve any clinical preceptors/supervisors/instructors.

*All clinical coordinators must possess a master’s degree (doctoral preparation preferred).
