title: Current and future perspectives regarding the framework for nurse anesthesia education: military education of nurse anesthetists and the case for centralized academic programs with multiple clinical affiliates: U.S. Navy.
abstract: The evolution of the Navy Nurse Corps Nurse Anesthesia Program is examined. Started at George Washington University in 1962, the program consists of two unrelated phases of training--academic and clinical. The pros and cons of such a design are presented so that administrators can decide for themselves whether the Navy's approach has applicability to their own programs.
