The Doctor of Nursing Practice in Nurse Anesthesia is a practice-oriented degree designed to prepare nurse anesthetists at the highest level of clinical scholarly practice. Keeping pace with the demands of today’s changing healthcare environment requires clinical experts who have the knowledge and skills to be effective change agents. The program prepares graduates to question practice, search for and critically appraise the best evidence to guide practice, and implement and evaluate the application of best evidence in practice. 

A successful graduate from the program will gain the requisite skill set and leadership expertise to be a critical member of the healthcare team and provide anesthetics to patients throughout the life cycle in diverse settings such as small local hospitals, regional centers, and rural or urban settings for all types of surgery or procedures.
