title: Current and future perspectives regarding the framework for nurse anesthesia education: a freestanding academic program within a regionalized program framework.
abstract: In 1987, Pittsburgh's LaRoche College advanced its baccalaureate level nurse anesthesia program to the master's degree level. The coordinator of the didactic program collaborated with directors of two affiliated hospitals of nurse anesthesia to develop a program in which scientific concepts, theory and clinical applications have been well-integrated.
