Already hold a DNP in another role specialty? The Knoxville Nurse Anesthesia Program offers a Post-Doctoral Certificate (PDC) in Nurse Anesthesia for existing DNP holders in an alternate role specialty. The PDC curriculum offers advanced standing in up to four courses, following transcript and syllabus review by program administration. The Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs requires the post-doctoral certificate curriculum to be substantially equivalent to the BSN-entry curriculum. Subsequently, the PDC curriculum remains 36 months in length and requires the completion of a doctoral scholarly project with an anesthesia focus.

You could reach out to any professor and ask them a question and they’re very receptive. They are kind of family at this point.
