Educational Philosophy
The Faculty
of the Oakland University-Beaumont Graduate Program of Nurse Anesthesia
believe that nurse anesthesia students bring a wealth of knowledge,
skills and experiences with them thus providing a unique lens from which
they view their rich educational experiences. We believe students
possess natural intellectual curiosity, are highly motivated, and have a
desire for self-direction and life-long learning.
