Peoria, Ill.-based Methodist College plans to launch a certified registered nurse anesthetist program in 2027.
The graduate-level program aims to address workforce gaps in anesthesia care, particularly in rural and underserved areas where access to anesthesiologists may be limited, according to a Dec. 2 25News report.
The college, part of Urbana, Ill.-based Carle Health, is recruiting a director to lead the program.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
