Nicole Moore, Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant and 2025 AAAA* President, shares her journey from discovering the CAA profession through a Google search to becoming a pivotal leader in CAA advocacy and education.

*American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants

In this LIVE Season 4 Finale recorded @ AAAA 2025 you will hear how Nicole:

• Balances full-time clinical practice with AAAA presidency through an intentionally designed schedule
• Discovered the CAA profession while questioning whether medical school aligned with her life goals
• Led successful legislative efforts in Virginia resulting in CAA licensure after 8 years of advocacy
• Emphasizes building relationships with physician anesthesiologists as key to legislative success
• Shares a powerful story about a patient who experienced cardiac arrest during a C-section
• Maintains balance through family support, planned downtime, and periodic digital disconnection
• Views leadership as something that found her rather than a deliberate career plan

If you're navigating leadership as a CAA, want to continue growing professionally, or need a reminder about why you chose this profession, this conversation will ground you in what matters most.
