Hello, Region 4!

Exciting things are happening in the world of anesthesia technology, and I want to take a moment to remind you of the incredible opportunities available to advance your career. If you or a colleague have years of experience but haven’t yet earned certification, the Practical Experience Pathway (PEP) offers a fantastic route to becoming credentialed. For those already holding the Certified Anesthesia Technician (Cer.A.T.) title, the Advancement Program provides a structured way to level up to Certified Anesthesia Technologist (Cer.A.T.T.) status. These programs recognize and reward your hard work, helping to elevate our profession as a whole.

Beyond certification, we continue to offer excellent educational opportunities through our quarterly webinars and regional meetings. These smaller, more focused gatherings are a great way to stay up to date with best practices and network with peers. But I want to hear from YOU—What topics interest you most? What types of networking events or in-person educational gatherings would you like to see in our region?

Feel free to email me anytime with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.

I’m looking forward to warmer temps and sunshine—garden planning season is almost here! I hope you enjoy the arrival of spring as much as I do.
Stay safe and keep learning!
