Program of Study

During the first 12 months of the program, our learner-centered curriculum focuses on building a solid foundation in basic sciences, principles of safe anesthesia practice, professional role development and evidenced-based practice. In addition, students and faculty are engaged in weekly lab sessions using our state-of-the-art clinical simulation center, as well as an introduction to daily anesthesia practice in several of our affiliated hospitals.

During the remaining 15 months of the program, students are engaged in supervised clinical practice at a variety of institutions and gain knowledge and experience in providing anesthesia services to all age groups undergoing a wide variety of surgical and diagnostic procedures. At the conclusion of the program, the student will be well-positioned to successfully pass the certification examination and to begin their new careers as safe, highly competent Nurse Anesthetists.
