Academic knowledge is
correlated with applied practice experiences which exceed the minimum requirement
of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational
Programs. The anesthesia cases include pediatric, obstetrics,
geriatrics, open heart, neurology, plastics, otolaryngology, ophthalmology,
urology, and orthopedics. Both elective and emergency anesthetics are
given. Administration and management of regional techniques are taught.
