As the only Black man graduate in his cohort at Mayo Clinic School of Health Related Sciences Nurse Anesthesia Program, he experienced social isolation & racial bias throughout the entirety of his program.

There were no nurse anesthesia faculty of color or clinical coordinators in his program.

In Celebration of Black History Month, honoring Black Men Nurse Anesthetists

We lift up Black men who are usually ‘the only’ in nurse anesthesia cohorts. We honor Clarence Williams, CRNA, MSN, a graduate from Mayo Clinic School of Health-Related Sciences Nurse Anesthesia Program 1981.

Thinking and praying for the brave men & women who serve in military along with their families.
