The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga\/Erlanger Health System Nurse Anesthesia Concentration has achieved a significant milestone, being granted a 10-year continued accreditation through spring 2034 by the directors of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA).<\/p>\n

The COA recognized the School of Nursing concentration for providing graduate-level curriculum leading to the award of a Doctor of Nursing Practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe directors of the COA are particularly pleased to offer their congratulations to everyone at the program who has demonstrated their commitment to meeting the requirements for continued accreditation,\u201d COA Chief Executive Officer Francis Gerbasi said in his notification letter to UTC. \u201cPlease accept the COA\u2019s congratulations on the program\u2019s performance in achieving maximum accreditation status.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UTC Nurse Anesthesia program offers a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree through a full-time 36-month curriculum. Rigorous coursework with extensive clinical experiences prepares UTC DNP Nurse Anesthesia students for the national certification exam offered by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists.<\/p>\n

Once certified, UTC graduates may begin work immediately as certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA).<\/p>\n

School of Nursing Director and UTC Chief Health Affairs Officer Chris Smith said the continued accreditation is a testament to the program\u2019s unwavering commitment to providing high-quality education in the field of nurse anesthesia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is such a shortage of certified registered nurse anesthetists in the state and the country, making this a critical program,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe have had a track record for decades of providing an excellent education for our students who graduate from our program and are ready to go to work immediately. They can handle the most critical cases the day they walk into their new position in the hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe accreditation just confirms that an outside organization recognizes the excellence in education that our faculty provides for the students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the last five years, 93.3% of enrollees in the UTC nurse anesthesia program graduated\u2014while 92.3% passed the National Certification Exam on their first attempt.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Linda Hill has a team of practicing CRNAs, so they are current in best practices,\u201d Smith said. \u201cBecause of that, our students leave here ready to go to work without missing a beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Dr.

Dr. Linda Hill<\/p><\/div>\n

Hill has been the program coordinator and administrator of the nurse anesthesia concentration since coming to UTC in 2005. This marked the second time the concentration earned 10-year accreditation under her direction.<\/p>\n

When she first arrived at the University, the nurse anesthesia concentration was a master\u2019s program. During her time overseeing the program, Hill has helped shepherd the transition to the DNP curriculum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were approved and started our first group of Doctor of Nursing Practice students in January 2022. Our first doctoral cohort graduates in December, so we\u2019re pretty excited about that,\u201d said Hill\u2014a nurse for 37 years and nurse anesthesia educator for 27. She was inducted as a Fellow of the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a major undertaking to do that,\u201d she continued, \u201cbut we took that opportunity to develop courses that gave our students the ability to take courses that are really important to today\u2019s practice. It allows them to expand as we learn more things about health care.\u201d<\/p>\n

One example, Hill said, is a peripheral regional anesthesia course. Students get a whole semester dedicated to it instead of a limited number of lectures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s very relevant,\u201d she explained, \u201cbecause peripheral regional anesthesia is so much a part of our practice that CRNAs can go out and perform. It prepares them for being able to step into any practice setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hill noted the ability of UTC nurse anesthesia students to get clinical experiences in larger Chattanooga-area hospitals as well as smaller outlying rural community hospitals \u201cto get experiences they can\u2019t get here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what\u2019s really great about this program is that the majority of our clinical experiences for our students are local,\u201d she said, \u201cand when you\u2019re in a much smaller hospital, you have to approach things from a very different perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to be very independent. You\u2019re practicing learning how to be involved with not only the surgeons and have that strong link of communication but also becoming familiar with and collaborating with hospital administration. That makes for a very different perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n
