STUDENT HANDBOOK - 2016

The Nurse Anesthesia Student Handbook provides students with a useful source of
information concerning the organization, policies and procedures, curriculum, support
services, and extracurricular activities of the University of Kansas Medical Center and
the Department of Nurse Anesthesia Education. The Student Handbook is Part I of the
Program’s Administrative Handbook.

The official University of Kansas Medical Center Student Handbook is online at
www.kumc.edu/studenthandbook. The KUMC online handbook includes:
 the School of Health Professions Student Handbook at www.kumc.edu/school-of-
health-professions/student-handbook.html
 The Graduate Studies Student Handbook at
https://www.kumc.edu/studenthandbook/graduate.html#integrity.

All policies in these online handbooks should be considered as part of the Nurse
Anesthesia Student Handbook.

The Nurse Anesthesia Program reserves the right to change or revise any and all of its
policies and procedures at any time without prior notice to the students. The policies,
procedures, and rules contained herein supersede all prior oral or written
representations of statements regarding the terms and conditions applicable to students
accepted into the Program. The Student Handbook published each year supersedes all
previous Student Handbooks. In cases where the Nurse Anesthesia Student Handbook
and the University Catalog or University of Kansas Medical Center Student Handbook
has differing policies or procedures, the Nurse Anesthesia Student Handbook takes
precedence.

Suggestions for additions, deletions, or changes will be appreciated. Send all
information to the Department of Nurse Anesthesia Education.
