I have over 10 years of experience teaching nurse anesthesia courses at the graduate level. My teaching experience includes developing curriculum, leading seminars, and mentoring students through clinical rotations. I have also published research in anesthesia education, which has informed my teaching methods and helped me stay current with best practices in the field.

I stay current by regularly attending conferences, participating in continuing education courses, and subscribing to leading journals in anesthesia. Additionally, I collaborate with colleagues in the field to discuss new techniques and technologies. This ensures that my teaching is always informed by the latest research and clinical practices.

My approach to mentoring involves a combination of hands-on guidance and constructive feedback. I ensure that students understand the theoretical aspects of anesthesia before applying them in practice. During clinical rotations, I closely observe their performance, providing immediate feedback and encouraging them to reflect on their experiences. This helps them develop critical thinking skills and build confidence in their abilities.

When students are struggling, I first identify the root cause of their difficulties through one-on-one meetings. I then work with them to develop a personalized study plan and provide additional resources or tutoring if needed. I also encourage open communication and offer regular check-ins to monitor their progress and provide ongoing support.

I use a variety of strategies to engage students, including interactive lectures, case studies, and group discussions. I also incorporate technology, such as simulation labs and online modules, to provide hands-on learning experiences. Additionally, I encourage student participation by asking thought-provoking questions and creating a collaborative learning environment where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas.
