We pose the question to guests all the time about how to get more CRNAs involved on the advocacy side of the profession, but today’s guest is taking a hands-on approach to instilling that mindset at the educational level. Dr. Kristie Hoch has taken her passion for advocacy and applied it to the nurse anesthesiology program at the University of Arizona. Together with co-host Tracy Castleman, DNP, CRNA, APN-A, FAANA, we will hear all about her training process and why she thinks this leadership training will pay off in all aspects of their careers.

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

Why she thinks we should call our students residents.
Where her passion and fire for getting involved began.
When she starts incorporating leadership and advocacy into her students’ training?
CRNAs are already leaders by making it through school and being a part of this profession.
