Zohn Centimole joined the School of Nursing as the Assistant Director for the Nurse Anesthesia Program to begin the first nurse anesthesia program housed on a tertiary medical center campus, in the state of Kentucky. Dr. Centimole has over 17 years of experience as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) in the tertiary health care setting. His clinical practice experience spans from outpatient remote anesthetics to major trauma resuscitations, as well as a large volume of complex cancer care. He has presented at national meetings and been published in several perianesthesia journals. His most recent article regarding the use of processed EEG in the elderly is published in the April 2024 edition of the AANA Journal.
His research interests include the effects of anesthesia on cognitive function.
