Beyond The Mask: Innovation & Opportunities For CRNAs

Ep 231: How to Care for People with a Substance Use Disorder


Listen Later

Nearly all of us have been in a situation where we’ve noticed something off or not right about someone we work with or someone we know but we didn’t say anything or take action. It’s a problem across the country, but the CRNA profession has a higher rate of substance use disorders than the general public.  

So how can we do a better job identifying and helping our peers who feel isolated and suffer from a substance use disorder? Today’s guest has spent a lot of her time in recent years trying to help educate people in this area. Leigh Taylor, DNP, MS, CRNA, APRN, presented at the AANA Annual Congress, which is where we first saw her and knew it’s a topic we wanted to spend more time discussing on the podcast.

Here are some of the things you’ll learn on this show:

  • Background on Leigh and the topic we’re discussing. 2:36
  • The substance abuse disorder data within the CRNA community. 6:50
  • Why does she think this is so prevalent in the community? 8:10
