Questions to ask the dean?

I am wondering if anyone has any good questions to ask a Dean of the CRNA program....

When I was talking to the lady that handles all the application material, she mentioned that if I would like to meet with the Dean, that I could. I would like to, just to put a face to the name on the application, at least a little bit. Just wondered if anyone had suggestions for questions to ask about the program? I'm thinking about asking about clinical sites, what she thinks the best part of the program is, etc.

Any one have any additional input I should be thinking about/asking?

    I'd save those questions for the interview. Just emphasize your eagerness to get started, ask for an opportunity to shadow a CRNA (again), find out about a clinical site on your own that is interesting to you and mention what a great opportunity the program is providing...stuff like that. Be eager and complimentary, find a way to work in your strong work ethic and lack of difficulty with long hours. But do it without bravado and arrogance.

    Good luck

    1. First time board pass rates

    2. Attrition rate

    3. Total number of cases and how do they compare to the COA recommendation rates for those cases

    4. Type of clinical rotations.

    5. Are there any CRNA independent clinical rotations

    6. Does the program offer significant >50 Ultrasound guided regional blocks not including neuraxial blocks.

    7. Average number of neuraxial blocks (epidural sand spirals)

    8. Typical week: front loaded versus integrated clinicals

    Will you have the chance to talk to junior and senior SRNAs prior to enrolling.

    I would try to find out as many of these answers prior to talking to the PD, and then you can ask what you didn't find by simply saying I looked at your website for these questions but I couldn't find the answers. Could you elaborate on these questions I didn't find?
