The mission of the Diversity in Nurse Anesthesia Mentorship Program is to inform, empower and mentor underserved diverse populations with information to prepare for a successful career in Nurse Anesthesia. We (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists) fulfill our mission by providing annual information sessions/ luncheon programs, anesthesia airway workshops, sponsorships for minority nurse anesthesia students to the Annual AANA Conference, participating in area high school career day, visit Historically Black Colleges and Universities and provide annual graduating celebratory dinner for minority students completing the nurse anesthesia programs. The all volunteer organization participants are CRNAs, minority nurse anesthesia students, ICU nurses, nursing school students and high school students. The importance of mentorship is our core value and a diverse group of advance practice nurses as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist is our immediate goal. The Diversity in Nurse Anesthesia Mentorship Program is a registered 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) organization.
