About this listen

Representation in nurse anesthesia is about access, excellence, and belonging. It’s the responsibility of every CRNA to help shape the future of the profession in a way that affords opportunity and access to anyone who wants to pursue that goal. In this episode, hosts Nicolas and Kelsey are joined by two influential leaders in nurse anesthesia advocacy, Lena Gould, EdD, CRNA, FADLN, FAANA, FAAN and Vincent Ford, DNAP, CRNA, to talk candidly about diversity, mentorship, and responsibility.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

🎓 Why representation in textbooks, faculty, and leadership matters

🧠 Mentorship as the bridge between access and opportunity

🌍 Diversity of thought and experience drives better decisions at the institutional level.

🏫 Barriers in admissions and the push for holistic review

🌱 Paying it forward and shaping the next generation of CRNAs
