CRNA Training

Clinical rotations begin in the Summer term of the 2nd year in the program. In the first year, students are in class for full days Monday-Thursday with clinical simulation held multiple times per week.
In the second year, students are in class two days a week with 3 days spent in clinicals.
The last year students have one day of class and 4 days of clinicals. There will also be some on-call hours later in the program.
Webster has 20+ clinical facilities, several of which are out of the St. Louis area. We have several out of state locations. Each facility offers a unique set of opportunities. All students are required to participate in at least one rotation (9-week term) at a rural, out of town location.
These clinical sites provide a wide range of anesthesia experience and rural locations.
