Cases span trauma, neuro, orthopedic, thoracic, transplant, pediatric, and robotic surgery, among others. Leadership, teaching, and research roles are available, and the health system offers the chance to take part in the planned Nurse Anesthesia Program at Penn State, with an anticipated start in spring 2027. Free continuing education credits are also offered.
