1served as the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA) director of accreditation (later accreditation and education) from 1990-2002 after a career as a CRNA program director, teacher, and practitioner.

Abstract:
In 1934, Gertrude Fife, president of the National Association of Nurse Anesthetists (NANA), recognized a need to elevate the standards of anesthesia practice and standardize the education of nurse anesthetists. Early members of the association responded by working to locate schools, setting education standards, and developing a school approval process, which eventually led to creation of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA) in 1975. Examination of historical documents demonstrates that COA developed into a well-known accreditation agency that is recognized by both governmental and non-governmental organizations, meeting the goal of elevating the standards of anesthesia education and continuing this process through its commitment to promoting high-quality educational programs.
