This is primarily accomplished through the Immersion Model for Diversifying Nurse Anesthesia Programs (The Immersion Model), an innovative, evidence-based program focused on the diversification of the nursing workforce. It was created specifically for nurses of color who have been historically underrepresented as certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs); thereby, aiming to help reduce health disparities, structural inequities, and institutional biases. The Immersion Model prepares nurses of color to be competitive applicants for graduate anesthesia programs and successful students while equipping them to provide better health outcomes for the diverse population.</p> <p>What’s unique about the Immersion Model is that it’s the only program that actively engages with Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions Schools of Nursing. With the award funds, The Immersion Model’s goal is to expand its professional events for CRNAs across the country. It also seeks to replicate this successful program for Advance Practice Nurses (APRNs).</p> <div class="vidcol"> <p class="iholder"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I3emTIa5BsA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p> </div> <div class="secondcol"> </div> <div class="vidcol"> <p class="iholder"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ONP3-HPkfl8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p> </div> <div class="secondcol"> </div> <div class="vidcol"> <p class="iholder"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-wkDlvaH-Tk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p> </div> <div class="secondcol"> </div> <div class="vidcol"> <p class="iholder"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Wovzf1d8JUg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p> </div> <p style="clear: both;"> </p> <h4 style="clear: both;">2024 Individual Honorable Mention</h4> <p><strong>Brenda Lessen Knoll, PhD, RN<br /></strong><strong>Founder<br /></strong><strong><a href="https://www.piomi.com/">PIOMI</a></strong></p> <h4>2024 Team Honorable Mention</h4> <p><strong>Diane Miller, CRNA<br /></strong><strong>CEO<br /></strong><strong><a href="https://pediallc.com/">PeDIA, LLC</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.stryker.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img style="float: right;" src="/globalassets/innovation/team/stryker_logo.png" alt="Stryker_logo.png" width="241" height="64" /></a></strong></p> <hr style="margin-top: 50px; border-bottom: 1px solid #991a63; border-top: 0;" /> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />Need inspiration?
