The proposed DNP-Nurse Anesthesia degree program, under development, will help address a CRNA workforce gap in Northern California and throughout the state through collaborations with rural and underserved health systems. The founding faculty will be integral in the program’s goals of establishing innovative partnerships with outside stakeholders as well as the UC Davis Medical Center. The program will also seek to establish pipelines for health care professionals from, and interested in, working in rural and underserved communities.
