Strengthening the CRNA Workforce Through Innovative Education

With the growing demand for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in healthcare, developing and preparing future nurse anesthetists is more important than ever. As training needs and educational requirements continue to evolve, anesthesia programs have to adapt as well to maintain the high standards needed to provide the right care. Today’s guest is Michael Greco, Ph.D., DNP, CRNA, who has been at the forefront of addressing this critical need through innovative educational strategies. This conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into how his initiatives are reshaping the CRNA workforce and improving access to quality anesthesia care. Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: A brief history of the DNP degree and the evolution of educational requirements. The purpose of the combined AGACNP/CRNA program. How much buy-in has there been and what pushback has he received? How can our nurse anesthesiology profession benefit from these combined programs? The details that are most important to know.  About our guest: https://jobs.northwell.edu/blog/2019/01/20/celebrating-crna-week-meet-michael-greco-spearheading-big-changes-crnas-northwell-health/ Visit us online: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/ The 1099 CRNA Institute: https://aana.com/1099 Get the CE Certificate here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Beyond-the-Mask-CE-Cert-FILLABLE.pdf Help us grow by leaving a review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-mask-innovation-opportunities-for-crnas/id1440309246 Donate to Our Heart Your Hands here: https://www.ourheartsyourhands.org/donate  Support Team Emma Kate: https://grouprev.com/haloswalk2024-shannon-shannon-brekken
