Mission Trip Participation:
Occasionally, MTSA students may have the opportunity to participate in mission trips at locations outside the United States, and MTSA considers such participation as part of its planned curriculum. Students are never permitted to participate in mission trips as the sole or primary anesthesia provide but must be accompanied by qualified CRNA and/or anesthesiologist supervisors. MTSA does not financially sponsor such student participation but may be able to accommodate scheduling for a limited number of students to take part in some mission trips. Students are not permitted to record any anesthetics or procedures performed on mission trips in their case logs in Medatrax, as the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA) does not allow these to be counted toward their required numbers of cases and procedures.
