Why are CRNAs always talking about politics? In this episode, we break down the “why” behind some of the most talked-about issues in the CRNA world, giving you the foundational knowledge you’ll need as you step into this profession.

In this episode, we discuss what it means to be an "opt-out" state, how the CMS 2001 ruling opened the door for CRNAs to practice independently, and why this matters so much, especially in rural and veteran care. You'll also hear about the critical role CRNAs play in underserved areas, and why the rise of Anesthesiologist Assistants (AAs) has stirred up concerns about patient care and workplace dynamics.

Stick around until the end for key takeaways on how YOU can advocate for the profession, even as an applicant, and why your voice matters more than ever.
