Description
What up yall. This is Jon Lowrance. I’m still here. 😂 We’re still here. This is the first episode of 2023 and the first episode on Anesthesia Guidebook since October – October! I’m so glad to get back to the podcast and bring you this update. This is a re-cap of the last few months of my world. It’s also a reminder of what Anesthesia Guidebook is about and a look forward into 2023. I’ve got some very exiting news to share… my wife is pregnant with our second baby boy, due in March, and I’ve also transitioned in my role at Maine Medical Center from the SRNA Clinical Coordinator and into the role of chief CRNA. In this episode, I talk about that transition and a bit about the philosophy of organizational leadership that I have found to be most compelling that’s shaping my approach to supporting my team and will undoubtedly continue to influence the podcast. Thank you to everyone who reached out in the last couple of months! Your check-in’s, DMs, podcast reviews and emails have been encouraging and much appreciated! I’m honored to share this space with you and to be part of your runs, Peloton rides, commutes, baby naps and all the other times you tune into Anesthesia Guidebook to stay sharp and get your learn on. I want to share the link for the group that I have the opportunity to support as chief CRNA here: Maine Medical Center. Search for the CRNA positions in Portland, Maine. Come work with us… I hope to share more about our team and the why behind what we do a little later in the year. It’s a special place with an amazing team. Reach out and we can talk about it. That said, I will always work to maintain a professional degree of separation between my place of employment and this podcast in terms of the information and opinions I share.  My views and opinions – and those of my guests – do not necessarily represent those of any of our employers.  With any medical education content, you should always consult with other healthcare experts, medical texts and peer-reviewed journals before acting upon anything you hear in a podcast or social media post.  Take care and welcome to 2023!
