Nurse Anesthesiology Residency I
NURS ANESTHESIOLOGY RESID
This is the first of five clinical residencies that provide the opportunity for nurse anesthesiology residents (NARs) to integrate theory into practice within the clinical setting. NARs move along a continuum from healthy adults to patients with multi-system failures. The focus is on perioperative theory transfer, the development of assessment skills, and the developmental implementation and evaluation of an individualized anesthesia care plan. Cultural humility will be incorporated into care plans to develop anesthetic management individualized to patient identities and cultures while including an emphasis on social and cultural health disparities. Patient interviews and teaching are integral to this process. Basic principles of decision-making are emphasized throughout. Mastery of the Nurse Anesthesia Residency I objectives is required by the end of this residency. Practice settings include operating rooms, emergency rooms, and off-site locations including but not limited to diagnostic and interventional suites. CRNA or physician anesthesiologist preceptors serve as facilitators of learning. Clinical conferences and professional meetings help to reinforce and enhance learning.

Research through the Visualization of He
RSCH THRU VIS HLTH DATA &
The course is intended to provide a hands‐on introduction to delivering data visualizations to serve as a critical lens through which individual and population level health can be examined. The course will combine concepts and theory in data visualization and exploration and practice to prepare the learner to begin using graphics and statistics to explore data, find and construct a narrative, and share findings in ways colleagues and decision-makers can readily understand and act upon. Topics may include: (a) principles of human perception and attention that inform visualization design; (b) The use of visualization to explore data and discover a narrative; (c) the use of visualization to communicate effectively with others; 4) the development of practical skills, including preparing datasets and applying programing language to analyze data and produce visualizations.
Interaction with practitioners/guest speakers is an integral part of this course as a way for students to understand real data and information challenges. Concept lectures and case studies concentrate on learning to scope and manage complex data science projects. Lab work will focus on gaining competency with data science/visualization tools and techniques (e.g., Jupyter Notebook, R programming language) applied to an integrated health-relevant data set.

Principles of Epidemiology and Environme
PRIN-EPIDEMIOLOGY & ENVIR
This course addresses the application of epidemiology and environmental approaches to inform the clinical practice of health care of individuals. An understanding of health sciences based on groups of people, including environmental health, occupational health, and some aspects of genetics, can orient the practitioner with an individual patient. These external influences are modified through social, cultural, and behavioral factors. Addressing these factors should help to anticipate and improve patient outcomes.
