Show Notes
The admissions process for nurse anesthesia programs has changed dramatically, from paper applications to video interviews to the challenges of artificial intelligence. But what hasn’t changed is the enormous responsibility faculty feel as the gatekeepers of the profession.
In this episode of Airway Exchange, hosts Nickie Damico, Erin Martin, and Louisa Martin discuss how admissions committees are adapting to a new era of technology, applicant preparation programs, and shifting student expectations.
Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode:
🧠 Beyond the GPA – Emotional intelligence and resilience are often better predictors of success.
💬 AI & authenticity – How video interviews and in-person writing help reveal the real applicant.
⚖️ Privilege, not entitlement – Reframing the mindset of entering a rigorous, high-stakes program.
🧩 The right fit matters – Matching candidates to program culture and structure is key to success.
