Assembly of Didactic and Clinical Educators: Why Are You Being So Mean?!?: The Impact of Bullying & Incivility on Nurse Anesthesia Faculty and Residents (1 Class A CE)

In order to empower nurse anesthesiology educators to create an all-inclusive and nurturing environment, several strategies are essential to succeed, including the development of faculty mentorship, incorporation of continuing education that fosters diversity, equity and inclusion among faculty and students, enhancement of interprofessional communication and development of personal/professional advocacy. Successful incorporation of the strategies will enable both novice and skilled educators to navigate the complex educational environment, identify necessary resources and empower them to address incivility when it arises. This has the potential to improve the student-educator bond, decrease burnout, and increase job satisfaction.
