What a time we had at the AANA Conference 2026 in Boston, MA. Puerto Rico represented proudly among the best in anesthesiology. We will take what we learned and continue to grow in our profession back home. We look forward to next year!

As we say goodbye to the Class of 2026, we welcome the Class of 2029. The road ahead will challenge you, inspire you, and occasionally have you questioning whose idea this was in the first place. Trust the process, lean on each other, and remember, you are exactly where you’re meant to be. Stay humble, stay hungry, and never underestimate the power of a supportive cohort. Welcome aboard, Class of 2029. The torch has officially been passed.

Mientras despedimos a la Clase de 2026, damos la bienvenida a la Clase de 2029. El camino que tienen por delante los retará, los inspirará y, de vez en cuando, los hará preguntarse de quién fue esta idea en primer lugar. Confíen en el proceso, apóyense unos a otros y recuerden que están exactamente donde deben estar. Manténganse humildes, mantengan viva su hambre de aprender y nunca subestimen el poder de una cohorte unida y solidaria. ¡Bienvenidos a bordo, Clase de 2029! La antorcha ha sido oficialmente pasada a ustedes.

The Class of 2026 takes a symbolic step that represents years of resilience, grit, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. The hood is more than a ceremonial garment. It is a symbol of achievement, leadership, and the responsibility that comes with joining the next generation of nurse anesthesia professionals. Congratulations to the class of 2026! 🧑‍🎓 👩‍🎓

The future of anesthesia is not waiting ahead, it walked across the stage today. ✨

Big congratulations to Cadeem Marcelino on passing his CRNA boards. This achievement is about more than passing an exam. It’s the result of years of hard work, long days, late nights, and finding a way to keep going. Cadeem never lost sight of the goal, and his effort paid off. A great reminder that when you stay consistent and keep pushing forward, even the hardest goals are within reach. Help us congratulate:

Dr. Cadeem Marcelino, CRNA

Another day, another new doctor for our prestigious program. We celebrate Dr. Pamela Cabrera, another example of what happens when talent meets relentless dedication. Behind this achievement are countless early mornings, late nights, missed gatherings, and the difficult choice to say “not this time” to family, friends, and life’s distractions. While others saw the sacrifices, only Pamela truly knows the weight of the commitment it took to reach this moment. Every exam, every clinical day, every challenge was met with determination and an unwavering belief in her goal.

As a proud Puerto Rican nurse anesthesiologist, Pamela carries with her not only the excellence of our program, but the spirit and resilience of Puerto Rico itself. Today, she makes her family, her colleagues, her school, and her island proud.

Congratulations, Dr. Pamela Cabrera, CRNA. UPR is proud of you, Puerto Rico is proud of you, and we cannot wait to see the impact you will make in the years ahead. Help us congratulate her!
