The nurse anesthesia program at Wake Forest School of Medicine is one of an elite minority of CRNA programs that are housed in a school of medicine. But it is our people – alumni, faculty, staff and students – who make our program truly special.
For over 75 years, the nurse anesthesia program has been highly regarded for the exceptional quality of our graduates, as well as for retaining faculty of outstanding achievement and recognition, nationally and internationally. Alumni gifts provide crucial support for the educational experience that has set our renowned standard for compassionate and collaborative patient care.
