Jakkarin Sareerak, DNP, a California-based CRNA, will serve as program director for the proposed doctor of nursing practice program, according to a January press release.
There are currently only five accredited DNP-NA programs in California.
In California, there are almost 40 million people and only 8,500 providers — a quarter of whom are CRNAs — who specialize in anesthesia. Out of the 8,500, 2,200 are nurses who are certified to administer anesthesia, according to the release.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
