The US Army has prepared top quality Certified Anesthetists (CRNAs) for over 45 years and since 1983, our graduates have earned a Masters Degree through our University based affiliations. We currently produce virtually all active duty Army CRNAs and provide specialized training in field anesthesia to ensure that our graduate nurse anesthetists are qualified to deploy in time of war, civil disorder, natural disaster or for humanitarian missions.

Successful completion of this program results in a Master of Science in Nursing degree (MSN) in Nurse Anesthesia from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Nursing and qualification to write the Certification Examination for Nurse Anesthetists.
