#95 – Could ChatGPT be a CRNA?

Quick 5-Question Post Podcast Survey HERE

Today I’m joined by John Fratianni who created the content for this episode as part of his Doctorate in Nurse Anesthesia Practice at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.  John earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Alaska Anchorage, and completed his critical care nursing training with the United States Air Force where he served 7 years on active duty. John conducted a study to determine if ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) program, can assist us in providing anesthesia care to our patients.  

I want to give a special shout out to Peter Stallo who founded Prodigy Anesthesia and SIMVANA, both of which are digital educational tools for anesthesia trainees. Peter worked closely with John to grant access to Prodigy’s vast database of board-style anesthesia questions. If you haven’t checked out Prodigy or SIMVANA – which is a virtual reality based anesthesia education platform, links are in the show notes. I also want to personally thank Peter for creating a great board prep program in Prodigy… it’s all my wife and I and several of our classmates used to study for boards and we passed on the first try. Nice job, Peter and thank you!

Since this episode is part of John’s doctoral work with Virginia Commonwealth University, he kindly requests that you take a quick survey that’s embedded in the show notes. It’s 5 questions and will literally take you 30 seconds… click the link and give John & me some feedback on how we did with this.

With that, let’s get to the show.
