The mission of the Fairfield University and Bridgeport Hospital Nurse Anesthesia program, under the auspices of Bridgeport Anesthesia Associates, P.C. and Bridgeport Hospital is to provide the strong clinical and academic foundation necessary to produce competent professional practitioners. The program fosters an environment that promotes continuous reevaluation and self-improvement in order to achieve excellence in patient care.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in nurse anesthesia concentration prepares students as expert clinicians for every stage and setting in which anesthesia is delivered to patients. Students gain hands-on experience in a variety of regional (neuraxial and peripheral block) and general anesthesia techniques under the supervision of certified registered nurse anesthetists and MD faculty. From routine surgical cases, to trauma, to major burn situations, you'll work on a variety of scenarios to expertly prepare you for the challenges that lie ahead.
In addition to becoming skilled clinicians, graduates are prepared to be healthcare leaders who can care for a variety of patients within their specialty, while using a cross-population perspective to assess, manage, and evaluate common problems. Graduates will apply knowledge about organizations, business management, information technology, and policy-making to improve systems of healthcare delivery. They are also prepared to assume a variety of leadership roles, including executive positions in healthcare organizations, directors of clinical programs, and university-based faculty positions with a clinical focus.
