Ryan Caufield
Westport, CT
University of Pittsburgh
Ryan is completing his final year as a nurse anesthesia student at the University of Pittsburgh and is graduating with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP). Ryan plans to work at a Level 1 trauma center, providing anesthesia to critically ill patients, and hopes to use his training to make a direct impact in emergency care. This past summer, he attended the national convention of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, gaining valuable exposure to leaders in the field. His letter of recommendation praised both his skill and professionalism, stating he “treats the surgical team, patients, and families with a great deal of dignity and respect and consistently performs above the expected level.” This is Ryan’s seventh Susan Fund scholarship.
