The Nurse Anesthesia Program offers the 112 credit hour, 9 semester curriculum leading to a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Nursing (UTHealth).
The Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Education Programs (COA) accredits the nurse anesthesia program. Graduates are qualified to take the National Certification Examination (NCE) of Nurse Anesthetists, which is administered by the National Board on Certification and Recertification of Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA). A full spectrum of clinical experiences in anesthesia practice is provided at several academic and community healthcare facilities. The clinical experiences require travel around the Houston Metropolitan area. The Nurse Anesthesia faculty assigns students to COA approved clinical sites.
