Similar praise comes for Clayton from Jaqueline Rowles, DNP, president of the International Federation of Nurse Anesthetists.

“Dr. Clayton’s impact on clinical practice improvements cannot be overstated,” says Rowles. “A rich history in academic achievement has provided Dr. Clayton with a position of well-deserved recognition within the entire anesthesia profession. Her focus on dissemination of research findings has been integral in implementation of evidenced-based changes.”
