Bill Prosser, DNAP, MSN, CRNA
Director, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Program
Bill Prosser serves as director of the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Program. He arrived at 麻豆社 Fox in 2024 after working as a CRNA for 28 years and a nurse for 38 years.
After earning his bachelor’s degree (1982) and BSN (1986) from the University of Maine, he served in the active army as an ER nurse. He later received his CRNA education at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, California (1996), and spent the first 19 years of his anesthesia career at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California, while serving in the U.S. Army and Navy reserves. While in the reserves, Bill worked with Navy SRNAs and spent a year serving at Camp Pendleton caring for Marines and their families.
He enjoys medical mission work and has traveled to South America on multiple occasions with Rotaplast, which specializes in eliminating the burden of cleft lip and/or palate, burn scarring, and other deformities worldwide.
In addition to his work at UC Davis, Prosser contracted with several plastic surgeons and owned a malpractice consulting business. After retiring from UC Davis, he worked as a CRNA in rural Oregon and attended Virginia Commonwealth University, where he received his doctor of nurse anesthesia practice in 2017. His focus in rural practice was on patient safety, enhanced recovery, opioid-sparing anesthesia techniques, and advanced hemodynamic monitoring scaled to rural hospitals.
Building on these interests, Prosser completed a fellowship in acute surgical pain management from the Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia in 2020. In the five years prior to his arrival at 麻豆社 Fox, he worked in a variety of locations helping CRNAs better integrate ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, pain physiology and multimodal analgesic techniques into their practices.
He is passionate about developing a full scope-of-practice, top-of-the-license nurse anesthesia program. Bill and his wife Katie are considering downsizing and moving to the Willamette Valley. He enjoys cooking, martial arts, the outdoors and early church history.
