Franciscan Healthcare School of Anesthesia 2017

ie the UW-La Crosse program? I'm currently scrambling to get everything submitted. Their website is a bit unorganized, it's one of those weird programs (like MSA in Minneapolis) where the degree is granted by a university but the program is actually taught via an old, hospital-based program. So it's hard to find anything real online. Even the addresses for where to send transcripts, reference letters, etc. are a bit inconsistent, even on the UW La Crosse program page. 700 West Ave vs 700 West Avenue South, ha ha, is it the same thing? Will the letters go to the same place? Did you have the same struggles? Nevermind submitting GRE scores to the Department of Biology. What a headache.

One question for you, I see nothing, anywhere, about an essay. Are you submitting one, along with your mailed paper application to the actual anesthesia program?

I didn't submit an essay, didn't see anything about one either. I agree with the website being unorganized as well as the mailing addresses being different. It was a little frustrating! I submitted my app a month ago, haven't heard anything from them yet!

Oh, also, did you submit a resume along with your app? Just curious. They don't really ask for much, but yeah, website is very vague.

I'm applying too. I agree, the website is confusing! I emailed Barb about sending extra materials, and all she said was that materials may be submitted as I wish. *eyeroll* Wish it were more clear what they want from us!

I didn't. I asked, they said it's not necessary. They don't require much compared to other schools. Easy application to fill also!

@PrimeRib,

I can't reply to the PM bc I just joined not too long ago. I used the app on the UW website. I read the Mayo website but just referred back to UW's I just followed all the directions on there.
