CRNA SPOTLIGHT
"Throughout his career, CRNA Don Larmon has dedicated countless hours to mentoring nurse anesthesia residents, new CRNAs, and future clinical and didactic faculty. His influence extends far beyond the classroom and operating room. Several CRNAs he has mentored have gone on to develop an independent practice group, expanding access to CRNA-led care and extending Don’s impact throughout the profession."

We are glad you are considering the UPMC Hamot School of Anesthesia/Gannon University DNP program. The Doctor of Nursing Practice - Anesthesia option is designed to provide you with an in-depth concentration in clinical anesthesia in a program where you'll average more than 1,000 anesthetic cases with no competition for clinical access. We are a hospital-based program with five clinical affiliations with established partners, providing you ample opportunities to refine independent practice. Based in beautiful downtown Erie, PA, our program tuition cost is extremely competitive, at just $112,590.
The first two full-time semesters (summer & fall) are planned as online classes, allowing you to remain in your current location while you begin your nurse anesthesia career. As you begin the third semester (in January), you will transition your didactic and clinical training to UPMC Hamot in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Applications and all required documentation are due by September 15, 2027, for the next application cycle. The 2026 application cycle is now closed.
