Beyond The Mask: Innovation & Opportunities For CRNAs
From the OR to the C-Suite – And Back Again
02 Oct 2025
In 2017, Dr. Randy Moore made the leap from the OR and into bigger and bigger leadership roles that challenged him to think beyond patient care. At that time, he thought he was done with clinical practice for good. But, as he explains on today’s show, that assumption was very wrong. Join us to hear about this unique journey, from practicing CRNA to AANA CEO to Chief Anesthetist Officer at NorthStar Anesthesia CEO and then back to patient care after many years away. Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode: ⚖️ Leadership lessons – Strategy and long-term planning vs. OR split-second decisions. 🧠 Growth through discomfort – Why nerves and butterflies signal meaningful growth. 🌍 CRNAs in influence – Why more CRNAs should pursue leadership and policy roles. 🔄 Rediscovering anesthesia – Returning to practice rekindled his love for the profession.
