Leadership Programs
AANA Foundation is focused on offering Leadership programs that advance the knowledge of CRNAs. CRNA in leadership is critical to better representation of the profession and to improving business practices.
Health Policy Institute
In 2019 the AANA Foundation sent their inaugural CRNA class through the Health Policy Institute program at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia. Five CRNAs were selected and funded to attend the nationally renowned seminar that aims to educate attendees about the recent, current, and expected approaches of health care law, as well as other health policy related issues. The program delves deep into the health policy making process and takes the time to teach attendees the knowledge and networking needed to have an impact in federal and state policy.
Congressional Fellowship
The AANA Foundation Congressional Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for CRNAs with an interest in Health Policy and is intended to provide an educational on-the-ground experience working in a Capitol Hill office. Fellows will work full time in a U.S. Congressional office in Washington, DC for approximately 6-9 months and gain valuable experience in the inner workings of the U.S. Congress and the legislative process. Fellows will participate in a variety of tasks such as assisting staff with a legislative portfolio including attending committee meetings and interacting with constituents.
If you are interested in the AANA Foundation Congressional Fellowship, please submit a brief statement of interest by email to foundation@aana.com and include Health Policy Fellowship in the subject line. You will then be contacted when further details become available.
