U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) ranked the nurse anesthesia (CRNA) program at Wake Forest University School of Medicine #7 in the country, moving up three spots in the rankings from last year.
The Nurse Anesthesia program at the School of Medicine is the oldest in North Carolina and was founded in 1942. This program offers a rigorous curriculum, advanced training settings and global health opportunities and is one of an elite minority of CRNA programs that are housed in a school of medicine.
Academic degrees are granted by Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the three-year full-time anesthesia curriculum leads to attainment of the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, which has been fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs. This curriculum involves one year of full-time distance education and two years of on-site education including clinical instruction.
USNWR Best Graduate Schools rankings are designed to help prospective students research more than 130 nurse anesthesia programs.
