Paul Colligan DNP, CRNA

Instructor

Paul earned his Doctorate of Nursing Practice and Masters of Nursing from the University of Minnesota. He has an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong interest in breaking down complex situations and creating workable solutions, which constantly drives him to think outside the box.

In addition to owning a successful ketamine clinic in Minnesota, he provides professional anesthesia services for his own group, West-Pacific Anesthesia, and another private anesthesia group in Minnesota. Paul’s knack for teaching and engaging with students to optimize their learning experience has been his signature teaching approach, giving him high reviews from students. Even though he does a lot of educating, he feels he is taught every day by learning more from his students and patients.

When he isn’t working hard, you will find Paul playing hard, spending time with his family, traveling with his wife and five kids to the ocean, diving, surfing, fishing, or somewhere in the mountains hiking or camping. Additionally, he enjoys playing with one of their two dogs and keeping them away from the chickens, working out/running and endurance training, reading about human optimization and biohacking.
