Current CRNA demographics are ill-suited to meet our future patient needs. Come to this session to hear how that is possible.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the current and future United States population needs for culturally competent anesthesia care services.
• Define cultural bias, healthcare disparities and provide one example of either that relates to current anesthesia clinical practice.
• Identify the "compelling need" for a culturally diverse CRNA profession to meet the future healthcare needs and reduce healthcare disparities.
