Instructional Methods for Human Anatomy and Cell Biology in Nurse Anesthesia Graduate Programs: A Survey With a Focus on Regional Anesthesia

Abstract

Advanced anatomy instruction is required in nurse anesthesia programs by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA). This study provides a descriptive analysis on how anatomy is taught in nurse anesthesia programs in the United States with special emphasis on regional anesthesia. A survey consisting of 18 questions regarding anatomy course curriculum and regional anesthesia training was mailed to the nurse anesthesia programs (n=87) accredited by the COA. Supporting evidence for content validity and reliability was obtained. A total of 78 programs (90%) responded to the survey.
