Curriculum Guidelines

Curriculum Design: Master of Science in Anesthesia

All anesthesia classes are held in the anesthesia classroom in Room 2341 on the second floor of the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (EACPHS). The physiology classes (first and second semesters) are held in Scott Hall in the School of Medicine (SOM), Wayne State University. The anesthesia classroom has the technology to transmit and receive lectures via teleconferencing to students in locations away from campus (Distance Education). While all anesthesia classes are held in the anesthesia classroom at EACPHS, the Journal Club or Clinical Anesthesia Conferences (CAC) may be held in other classrooms at the College to accommodate both groups of students.

The offices for the anesthesia faculty are located on the fourth floor of the College. The space is shared with the Instructional Technology Department. The  anesthesia offices are 4601, 4602, 4603 and 4604 and occupied by faculty (Valdor Haglund, Mary Walczyk, Mary Golinski and Phil Mangahas) who also have responsibilities at their respective hospitals.  These faculty members also have offices at the hospitals. The office of the Program Director Prudentia Worth is Room 4605.
 

Curriculum Descriptions and Master Class Schedule

The curriculum is fully integrated allowing students to begin clinical experiences in the first semester and continuing throughout the length of the program. Students begin their clinical experiences with observation, preparation, and implementation of a basic anesthetic for simple cases and gradually progressing to the more complex and challenging cases.

The class schedule for the 24 months of the program is listed in the attached table. Efforts are made to provide students with an idea of the contact hours for each semester. In addition, the schedule provides a listing of the sites available for clinical experience. While students may not go to all sites based on location to a particular student, there are clinical sites that are considered Primary Clinical sites to which all student will rotate.
