Curriculum
The DNP with a specialization in Anesthesiology Program is a sequential locked-step curriculum beginning in the fall semester of each year. The program consists of 36 to 37 credit-hours delivered over a two year, part-time course of study. Coursework is completed via a hybrid platform of on-campus and off-campus sessions. On-campus sessions will be conducted three days each year during the fall semester at the Hollywood, Florida site, located at 421 N. 21st Avenue, Hollywood, FL 33020. Off-campus sessions will be conducted via on-line classes using distance learning technology as well as synchronous web-conferences.
In addition, completion of individually-designed clinical practicum is required, which can be completed in the state in which the student resides or is employed. During the last semester the student must also successfully complete and present a Capstone Project which demonstrates the synthesis of concepts and skills learned while enrolled in the program.
