Curriculum The MSNA curriculum is designed so that students are based on UNE's Westbrook college campus for the first eight months (two semesters) of the program. The majority of the basic science didactic courses are offered during this period. The remaining 19 months of the program are hospital-based, with an emphasis on advanced coursework, clinical training, human patient simulator lab experiences, and completion of a capstone project. All students are required to complete the entire curriculum with passing grades.
Clinical Training Upon completion of the didactic portion of the program in April, the students move on to the 19-month hospital-based clinical portion of the curriculum. The primary focus is clinical anesthesia training. The clinical experience obtained will be of the width and breadth necessary for the student to achieve clinical competency in anesthesia. This is accomplished through affiliations at clinical sites throughout the New England area. Each student will participate in at least 550 anesthesia cases. All of the surgical specialties are available, including hands-on training in regional anesthesia techniques. Specialty experiences (i.e. neuro-surgery, open-heart surgery, high-risk obstetrics) when not available at primary hospital affiliation sites will be obtained from short-term rotations at other medical facilities in the region. All types of anesthesia techniques and the latest agents are available for student participation. Students are able to obtain experience in general anesthetics, intravenous agents, and regional anesthesia to include: spinal, epidural, axillary block, and Bier blocks. The Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs has set minimum standards for clinical experience that each student must achieve prior to graduation from the program in order to qualify for the National Certifying Examination. Clinical Affiliates Clinical sites currently utilized by the School of Nurse Anesthesia include:
