Editorial Board

The Journal of Nurse Anesthesiology & Perioperative Practice is supported by a distinguished Editorial Board composed of a diverse group of healthcare professionals whose collective expertise reflects the breadth of scholarship the journal seeks to publish.

Our board includes leaders in nurse anesthesiology and perioperative practice, clinical educators, nurse scientists, health policy experts, neuroscientists, and other accomplished clinicians and scholars. Together, they bring extensive experience in patient care, education, research, quality improvement, and professional leadership.

This multidisciplinary perspective strengthens the peer review process by ensuring that manuscripts are evaluated not only for scientific rigor, but also for clinical relevance, educational value, and their potential to improve perioperative practice. Our Editorial Board embodies the collaborative spirit of JNAPP and our commitment to advancing scholarship that informs practice and improves patient outcomes.
