Airway Exchange – Ep. 13 – Preparing CRNA Educators for the AI Era | Beyond The Mask: Innovation & Opportunities For CRNAs

In this episode of Airway Exchange, Jiale (Gary) Hu, PhD, RN, FAAN joins the conversation to explore how AI is reshaping the way we teach, learn, and prepare future CRNAs. He’s currently the Director of Research and Global Outreach in the Department of Nurse Anesthesia, and his scholarship focuses on enhancing knowledge translation in healthcare environments, with a lot of his current projects encompassing AI integration in healthcare education.

We’ll go beyond theory and into practical implementation of AI, like integrating AI literacy into the curriculum and building custom GPT tools for student handbooks. We also want to address the concerns many educators share: ethical use, institutional support, academic integrity, prompt engineering, and how to keep humans “in the loop.”

Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode:

🤖 AI Literacy as a Core Skill

🧠 Prompt Engineering with the CARE Framework

📚 Integrating AI Across the Curriculum

🛠️ Custom GPT Tools for Educators

⚖️ Ethics, Accuracy & Human Oversight
