Educate: Highlight innovative approaches to nurse anesthesia education, including advancements in simulation, artificial intelligence, and beyond.

Destigmatizing Remediation: Using AI, Deliberate Practice, and Evidence-Based Strategies to Support Underperforming Students in Nurse Anesthesia Education (1 MAC Ed CE)

Thursday, February 5, 2026
1:15 PM - 2:15 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Level 2- Olmsted Ballroom 5
Remediation in nurse anesthesia programs is often viewed as a reactive process, but with the right tools and mindset, it can become a transformative opportunity. This presentation explores a forward-thinking remediation model that integrates artificial intelligence, structured deliberate practice, and individualized feedback to address performance gaps. Grounded in principles of cognitive load theory, simulation science, and adult learning, this approach prioritizes academic and clinical improvement, psychological safety, and long-term professional success.
Participants will learn how to identify learning trends, tailor remediation plans, and track growth more precisely and objectively. We'll also examine how structured deliberate practice—targeting specific competencies through focused repetition and immediate feedback—builds confidence and competence. Case studies and outcome data will highlight how these methods can be implemented to align with the best interests of students, programs, and the profession. This session is designed for educators and administrators seeking to move beyond traditional punitive models and build supportive, data-informed systems that foster resilience, skill mastery, and professional readiness.

Learning Objectives:

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of innovative remediation strategies in enhancing SRNA performance and expanding on faculty teaching methods.
  • Design a comprehensive, individualized remediation plan incorporating deliberate practice and technology-based interventions for underperforming RRNAs.
  • Critique current remediation practices and propose evidence-based improvements aligned with best practices in nurse anesthesia education.
