Each year, 12 new students are accepted into the
program. This small class size allows for a close, personal relationship
between the students and faculty.
The average time commitment, including clinical experience, classroom hours and preparation is approximately 60 - 70 hours per week. Due to the heavy demands of the program on students' time and energy, outside employment is allowed, but not encouraged. During the clinical phase, no more than sixteen hours of outside employment per week is allowed. Also, night shift-work prior to a scheduled clinical day is not permitted. No student may work in the provision of anesthesia services.
Students are required to attend all classes and departmental offerings. They are encouraged to participate, on a student level, in activities of the Connecticut Association of Nurse Anesthetists and the New England Assembly of Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists. Students obtain associate membership in the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists.
