Project/Practicum III

Catalog description

This course is the third of five-course series that is designed for the student to develop a scholarly proposal appropriate for a CRNA project. The evidence-based proposal includes the following components: (a) a focus on a change that directly or indirectly affects health care outcomes, (b) a focus on a system or population/aggregate, (c) an implementation plan in an arena or area of practice, (d) a plan for sustainability, and (e) an evaluation plan that measures processes and/or outcomes (formative or summative). The CRNA Clinical Project is about process and product, both aspects carry equal importance. The clinical project process is organized and well-delineated to guide the CRNA student towards incorporating specific knowledge and skill set that ultimately improve healthcare delivery, clinical practice, and patient care. This course will focus on plan implementation that has the potential to positively affect healthcare outcomes. Students will meet with CRNA faculty for 1 hour each week. Prerequisite: All first-year courses as outlines by CRNA schema and CRNA 641.
