University of Tulsa Nurse Anesthetist Program

Published

Good news for the people in Oklahoma. The University of Tulsa is up for initial accreditation from the Council on Accreditation for the Fall of 2016. Hopefully all goes well and we will finally have a CRNA program in the state of Oklahoma.

Upcoming Accreditation Reviews

I’m starting to think that it’s just the same old thing we’ve been hearing for years. “We finally have a director so now we’ll have a program in the coming fall.” And then nothing happens.

I’m gonna apply to TCU. If TU eventually gets their program together, that’s cool I guess. But I’m not holding my breath.

I still haven't heard anything. The last bit of information I got was that they are gonna have a "media blitz" once it is finalized and ready to go. This was supposed to be in November.

I saw on Facebook that the program is accepting applications later this month for an August start.

If that’s the case then where I’d the link to this info? Or are they taking apps under the table? Does anyone have anything besides hearsay? A link? A contact?

There is currently no official information but it should be made available in the near future.

• The University of Tulsa Nurse Anesthesia Program, Tulsa, OK

Public Disclosure Statement

The initial accreditation decision for the University of Tulsa Nurse Anesthesia Program was deferred. Given this action, the program will be scheduled for its next consideration of initial accreditation in June 2020. The COA may change this to an earlier time as a result of new or additional information or changes in the activities of the program. The program must submit a progress report documenting actions taken to come into full compliance with the Standards for Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs – Practice Doctorate related to adequacy of CRNA faculty resources, including the assistant program administrator.

Yes they were deferred in October but I'm guessing they have submitted the necessary documentation to get accredited or they are waiting for June and will accept applications before then. John Hopkins has taken applications and accepted people to their class before they were ever accredited.

For the love of Jesus Christ, how do I remove myself from this thread?

I can also vouch for reading this. Opening the application mid-Jan for an August start I think it said.
