About your past

Tell me how you teach residents in the OR while keeping the patient safe and the room moving.

Tell me about a critical event you managed and what you changed afterward.

You may work across Froedtert, Children's Wisconsin, the VA and community sites. How do you adapt to different systems and teams?

What they are checking: Flexibility and quick learning across very different practice environments in the Milwaukee area.

What would you do

You'll supervise up to three CRNAs or CAAs at once. How do you prioritize when two rooms need you at the same moment?

How do you give feedback to a CRNA whose practice concerns you?

About the work

Walk me through your approach to an unstable trauma patient coming straight to the OR.

What they are checking: Massive transfusion, airway and hemodynamic management under pressure at a busy Level I center.

Froedtert runs about 16 out-of-OR anesthetizing locations daily. What risks are specific to those sites and how do you manage them?

What they are checking: Awareness that remote locations have less help and unfamiliar setups, which changes how you prepare.

How do you approach anesthesia for a high-risk obstetric patient in the Birth Center?

What they are checking: Comfort with obstetric anesthesia emergencies like hemorrhage and urgent cesarean delivery.
