Join us as we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the International Federation of Nurse Anesthetists with past president Sandy Ouellette, CRNA and current president Jackie Rowles, DNP, CRNA, NSPM-C, FAANA.
We travel from the federation's humble beginnings in Lucerne, Switzerland, to its growth into a beacon of progress, setting the stage for the future of international collaboration and standards in nurse anesthesia. We think you’ll enjoy this journey through the evolution of a specialty that has revolutionized the way anesthesia and surgical care are delivered across the world.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
Steps leading to the foundation of IFNA.
How they developed a governing structure for IFNA and how that has evolved through the years.
What do we know today about the need for nurse anesthetists on the global stage.
The IFNA activities that are focused on advancing quality care.
