The Anesthesia Program at the University of Michigan-Flint is offered through the Department of Public Health and Health Sciences in the School of Health Professions and Studies in conjunction with Hurley Medical Center.  The program combines academic and clinical anesthesia courses taught at Hurley Medical Center and the University of Michigan-Flint. The program is dedicated to its graduates’ achievement of full professional competency.

Programs

Two graduate-level programs are offered:  the Master of Science in Anesthesia  program and the Doctor of Anesthesia Practice  program, also available as a joint Anesthesia Practice/Business Administration (Dual DrAP/MBA)  program.

Accreditation

The University of Michigan-Flint/Hurley Medical Center Master of Science in Anesthesia and Doctor of Anesthesia practice programs are accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA), 222 S. Prospect Ave., Park Ridge, IL 60068, (847) 655-1160. The programs’ next review by the COA is scheduled for May 2014.  

Program Mission

The mission of the Master of Science in Anesthesia Program is to support the graduate education of nurse anesthetists and ensure our graduates have the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide quality anesthesia care and service. The mission is predicated on the common goals of the University of Michigan-Flint and Hurley Medical Center to provide quality education, research and clinical service to the community.

The mission of the Doctor of Anesthesia Practice completion degree curriculum is to prepare the CRNA for expanded and/or specialized leadership roles within the complex field of health care.

Assessment

The Program participates in the University-wide effort to assess its academic programs. Information on assessment plans, including goals, methods and outcomes is available at http://www.umflint.edu/assessment.

Drug-Free Learning Environment 

To assure a drug-free learning environment, the Anesthesia Program prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of illegal and/or controlled substances and/or alcoholic beverages. Anesthesia students will undergo a drug/alcohol screen along with their entrance physical examination as required by Hurley Medical Center. Drug/alcohol screening may be requested of a student at any time during the program if there is cause to believe that substance abuse is affecting a student’s ability to perform his/her duties.
