GU to Expand High-Demand Nurse Anesthesia Program

Gonzaga University is expanding its highly ranked Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) program, Washington's only CRNA training, to meet soaring demand for anesthesia providers. With a new 8,700-square-foot facility in the UW-GU Health Partnership Building set to open in 2026, the program will soon train more students to address critical healthcare shortages across Eastern Washington and beyond.
