From pediatric care to primary care, emergency care and now anesthesia care, ASU is giving clinicians the opportunity to maximize their scope of practice.

The launch of the new nurse anesthesia concentration of the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree is a major step toward addressing a critical workforce shortage by developing a pipeline for practitioners.

Through the lens of Latino art, Edson College Assistant Professor Angel Algarin is working to help Latino men build skills to recognize and resist HIV-related stigma in themselves, their relationships and their communities.

The goal is to open conversations that make HIV education, care and treatment more accessible.

The number of Latinos who are diagnosed with HIV is on the rise in Arizona. But getting this population the education, care and treatment they need can be tough due to stigma. One ASU researcher aims to change that.

From extreme heat and wildfire smoke to medication, transportation and access to social support, climate-related changes can create additional challenges for older adults — particularly those living with chronic conditions or limited mobility.

Aaron Guest, gerontologist and assistant professor of aging at Edson College, recently joined the Aging Matters podcast to discuss how climate change intersects with the health and well-being of older adults.

He also discusses how health care providers can help older adults prepare for extreme weather and why healthy aging depends not only on individual health, but also on the homes, neighborhoods and communities where people live.
