2 PagesCase Study Training the next generation of Nurse Anesthetists with Hi-Fidelity Simulation John Shields, DNP, CRNA, a certified registered nurse anesthetist and professor from Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia is using ultrasound simulation to completely revolutionize his university’s CRNA training program – and he has the research to back it up. Shields, a pioneer in the world of CRNA education, is working to establish and introduce formal transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) training guidelines for the next generation of CRNAs in the United States. His co- authored research article, Effect of Simulation Training on Transesophageal Echocardiography Cognitive Performance, is expected to publish in the AANA Journal, the official journal of
