University of Arizona (U of A) CRNA - 2026 Start

Published

Hi everyone! I didn't see a thread for this year's applications, so I thought I would start one. Hoping for a good application cycle for all of us!! 

Hello!! 
I'm from the cohort ahead, and participated in the interviews, so I hope I got to meet some of you☺️This year was very competitive I hear, so congrats if you scored an interview!


Last year they waited until the very last day (on email) to send out the acceptances and even worse it was at the very end of the day! Lmao

Just a few things that I think was relevant for me to know when I was in your shoes:

1) program is front loaded, all our didactic is introduced in an online setting with the exception of the cadaver course in first semester during Summer.

2) our cohort size is 26, I believe yours will be as well.

 3) the program really has been amazing so far and I've had nothing but positive experiences.

4) clinical's start around the 18 month mark and will likely require relocation and we will be getting "little breaks" in December in between semesters, something that I hear is new! 

Excited for y'all!! 👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you for the info! Do you mind if I ask how often you are required to be in person? Like how does simulation work, etc

Looking like once a semester, after the initial 5 week in person class during the Summer of first semester! I'm only in semester two, but that is what we have gathered from information given!
