The Delaware Nurse Anesthesiology Program at ChristianaCare and Wilmington University is a full-time, 36-month program leading to a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, according to an Oct. 23 news release. 

The program will offer students over 2,000 hours of clinical experience across several surgical specialties through partnerships with ChristianaCare, Anesthesia Services and other healthcare organizations.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 38% growth in nurse anesthetist employment from 2022 to 2032, likely due to increased demand for healthcare services, including elective surgeries.

Jacqueline Mainwaring, PhD, DNP, CRNA, has been named the inaugural director of the Delaware Nurse Anesthesiology Program at ChristianaCare and Wilmington University.

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.
