The nurse anesthesia program at USF has prepared me to be a compassionate, competent, creative, and innovative anesthesia provider. The supportive faculty have let me know time and again they are invested in my success. I am thankful for the opportunity to learn from some amazingly skilled and knowledgeable CRNAs who have helped me to grow into an anesthesia provider who can positively impact the future of anesthesia care in the Tampa Bay community and beyond.
