The Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) program at Newman University has been designed for the baccalaureate-prepared registered nurse who wishes to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. The program offers both didactic and clinical education to enable the student to acquire the knowledge, skills, and competence necessary to assume an advanced practice role.
The DNAP program is a multifaceted academic unit that addresses healthcare needs and problems of the city, region, and nation through anesthesia education. The program prepares qualified individuals to assume advanced practice nursing roles in the delivery of safe and evidence-based anesthesia care. This safety is only achieved with a complete understanding of the science of anesthesia complemented by the humanistic touch of a caring practitioner—the art of anesthesia. This blending of science and art is accomplished by providing the student with a strong academic base upon which to build clinical experience.
