Cleveland Clinic Foundation: Cleveland

The Cleveland Clinic School of Anesthesia for Nurses was founded in 1968 to address the chronic shortage of nurse anesthetists in Cleveland. As nurse anesthesia education has evolved, the program has transitioned from a diploma program to a nationally recognized doctoral program affiliated with Case Western Reserve University. Graduates of the program receive a diploma in nurse anesthesia from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Case Western Reserve University.
