MAC Check is a self-paced, online platform that uses a longitudinal assessment approach. CRNAs currently enrolled in the Maintaining Anesthesia Care (MAC) program can complete their quarterly MAC Check questions in the MAC Check mobile app. The app also tracks a CRNA’s progress and performance, allows CRNAs to review rationale and marked questions, and elect time off quarters. MAC Check is dynamic and convenient, and the mobile app allows CRNAs to leave the assessment and come back at any time within a quarter and resume where they left off – as long as the assessment is completed within the designated three-month period.
