Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP)

The Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) is a 36-month, 87-credit program taken over nine semesters. Graduates are eligible to take the National Certification Examination (NCE) given by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA). The nurse anesthesia program is offered full-time only. The curriculum is fully integrated, allowing students to begin clinical experiences in the second semester and continuing throughout the length of the program. Students begin their clinical experiences with observation, preparation, and implementation of a basic anesthetic for simple cases and gradually progress to more complex and challenging cases. At the onset of the program, students are closely connected with the use of simulation to demonstrate their ability to integrate the didactic preparation to clinical practice. Students are provided clinical case scenarios following their didactic coursework to develop a clinical plan in which they are expected to articulate their rationale for their course of action followed by a simulation demonstration of the activities associated with their selected plan. The program strives to produce highly skilled certified registered nurse anesthetists capable of providing excellent anesthesia care to diverse populations in all settings where anesthesia practice or knowledge is required. We aim to cultivate appropriate learning environments essential to academic excellence, necessary to incorporate advanced knowledge and prepare a diverse body of students to thrive and positively impact local and global communities. The program promotes research activities to enhance the knowledge and understanding of best practices important to a diverse patient population with a focus on quality patient outcomes. The program also focuses on developing mechanisms to build new and innovative partnerships across a variety of healthcare disciplines.
