DNAP 700ADVANCED PHARMACOLOGY I3
This is (part one of) a two-semester course that will cover the basic principles of pharmacology needed in daily practice. This includes drug effect, mechanism, and interactions. In most cases, emphasis will be on the pharmacological action of drugs on specific organ systems. In some instances, drugs will be discussed in relation to their clinical use in anesthesia. Specific topics include the pharmacokinetics of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion; the mechanisms of drug action; drugs affecting the autonomic nervous system, the central nervous system including inhaled anesthetics; the cardiovascular system; as well as neuromuscular blocking agents and reversal.
This course is a continuation of Advanced Pharmacology I. It will cover the basic principles of pharmacology needed in daily practice. This includes drug effect, mechanism and interactions. In most cases, emphasis will be on the pharmacological action of drugs on specific organ systems. In some instances, drugs will be discussed in relation to their clinical use in anesthesia. Specific topics include a review of central nervous system drugs; anti-inflammatory drugs; and drugs that act on the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal and hematological systems. Pharmacology of Anesthetic Agents I (HSC-500), or its equivalent, serves as the prerequisite.
This course provides an introductory look at selected topics in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry and biochemistry as they pertain to administration of anesthesia. The class will focus on: functional groups, relationship between chemical structure and function, acid-base properties including the impact of PKa and ionization on solubility and binding of drugs, basic protein structure, enzyme and receptor site structure and the binding of drugs to receptor sites, and hepatic metabolism.
This course deals with a basic review of the laws of physics as they relate to anesthesia practice. Specific topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, pressure, hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, gas laws, thermodynamics, vaporization, electrical circuits and electrical safety.
ASSESSMENT This course in physical / health assessment provides the nurse anesthesia student with the needed skills and knowledge to perform both a thorough admission assessment and a thorough preoperative assessment and evaluations of the surgical patient. History taking and physical examination across the life span presented in this course will enable the nurse anesthesia student to 172
PHYSIOLOGY, AND PATOPHYSIOLOGY I The primary objective of this two-semester course is to provide the foundation necessary to understand the anatomical and physiological bases underlying the pharmacology, anesthesiology and other interventions employed by nurse anesthetists. More specifically, students will study, in-depth, the structure, function and pathophysiology of the neuromuscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, endocrine and hepatobiliary systems.

(DIDACTICS) Anesthesia didactics integrates previous classes that the anesthesia student has taken with new material in a seminar fashion. Body systems and particular target populations are analyzed with particular attention to anesthetic implications. Anesthesia approaches for particular surgeries are discussed.
(DIDACTICS) These are a continuation of Basic Anesthesia Principles I. These courses will increase the level of information and integration. Anesthesia for specialized surgeries and high-risk populations are studied.

Evidence-based practice integrates expert knowledge, research, scholarly evidence and patient preferences or values in making decisions about care and care delivery. Evidence-based practice de- emphasizes intuition, unsystematic clinical experience, and pathophysiologic rationale as sufficient grounds for clinical decision making and stresses the examination of evidence from clinical research. Advanced practice nurses have an important role in having active inquiry about the challenges presenting in the ever-changing health care system. Clinicians and other professionals work together to bridge gaps between evidence and practice to improve patient outcomes and be active professionals in the delivery of healthcare. Heath care delivery is more than clinical skills; it is patient, family and professionals being part of a care delivery system that meets and even exceeds quality standards and expectations.
A comprehensive overview of U.S. health care systems covering structure, finance, governance, personnel, history and cultural values. Examination of critical challenges and interactions with economic, technological, political and social forces to include the health care systems' response to these influences. Three credits.
This course is designed as a 3-credit graduate course covering the principles and practices of research methods with specific applications in statistical methods and analysis using Microsoft Excel as the tool for carrying out statistical operations and understanding statistical concepts as they relate to health policy and health administration issues. Topics covered in text include Excel Review, Introduction to Statistics and Levels of Measurement, Presenting Data, Descriptive Statistics, Probability, and Measures of Central Tendency, Measuring Data, Sampling Methods, Generating the Research Idea, Sample Size, Effect Size, and Power, Chi-Square, Student t-Test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Correlation Coefficients, Regression Analysis, Relative Risk Versus Absolute Risk and Other Common Public Health Measures.
(DIDACTICS) This is a continuation of DNA-731/ 732 and 733. This course will increase the level of information and integration. Anesthesia for specialized surgeries and high-risk populations are studied.

An introduction to economic and public policy factors that affect health care systems. Provides a review of relevant economic concepts and covers topics such as demand for health services, health care provider behavior, implications of insurance strategies, cost containment, health technologies and government regulations. Students will also conduct a cost-effectiveness study to understand how cost-effectiveness strategies can inform decision-making.
This course is to provide a set of practical and powerful tools to understand health care information systems that benefit patient care. The framework of the course is to encompass current trends in information technology such as artificial intelligence, anesthesia documentation, decision support systems, and blockchain. The course will also include reviewing project management software and the study of cryptocurrency. 3 credits
This course will describe how to use direct-to-consumer genetic information and other health information for identifying individual and personalized risk of disease. 3 credits
This course explores the background methodology on time series analyses and provides students with the ability to conduct their own time series analyses for research purposes. The course provides demonstrations using the R statistical software language and enables students to implement and run time series analyses and correct syntax and statistical issues through the use of tutorials and discussions. 1 credit
The Doctorate of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) will culminate in the successful completion of a faculty-approved doctoral project relevant to the field of healthcare and anesthesia. The doctoral project will be carried out over several semesters. For the project the student will plan the project by identifying an area of interest, developing data collection strategies, gathering and analyzing the data, as well as disseminating the findings of the project. The student will also be expected to prepare the completed study in a format suitable for publication in a scholarly journal.
