Minneapolis School of Anesthesia vs Rush

Published

I'm looking for any feedback on Minneapolis School of Anesthesia, as far as how well the program prepares people to do well on exams and practice right out of the gate with confidence.

I am already committed to Rush's program to start this fall in Chicago, where I currently live. I was also offered a spot at MSA, and am strongly considering the move to Minneapolis for this program. It is only 2 years compared to Rush's 3 years, and is dramatically cheaper. From what I have heard the master's degree doesn't make a difference for finding a job at this point in time, versus getting the DNP from Rush.

If there is anyone with feedback on here I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

I couldnt speak to the quality of the programs. but in terms of chosing the type of degree granted, here are my two cents : I guess it would differ where you are in your life and career. Im in my 5th year of practice, late 20s. no kids, no family to take care of now. My plan is to be a psych NP one way or another but if I had a choice between a masters degree and a doctorate, I would invest a little more and go for the doctorate for many reasons because apart from the clinical aspects, I would like to be an educator one day as well as some interest in administrative roles. I also take school reputations into account.
