The Franciscan Healthcare School of Anesthesia in La Crosse is a vital part of Mayo Clinic Health System in Southwest Wisconsin and subscribes to the philosophy of that organization.
Our philosophy is to:
Inspire hope, well-being and exceptional healthcare experiences to patients, students and faculty
Adhere to core values of respect for every person
Abide by ethical and professional standards of care, including compassionate, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual care
Collaborate with every member of the healthcare team
Use the creative ideas and energy of every student and employee
Provide excellent service
Use human and healthcare resources effectively
We believe that certified registered nurse anesthetists form an integral part of the healthcare system and use their advanced scientific knowledge, technical skills and core values to serve patients and their healthcare organization.
Our vision is for students, alumni and faculty to use their knowledge and skills to generate an individualized relationship that recognizes the dignity of every patient, student and staff member. We believe that upon completion of the program, students are prepared to be certified registered nurse anesthetists, with the potential to be an educator and researcher, in the sense that clinical investigation and problem solving are an integral part of the practice. As a result, students will have developed insight and direction for resourceful and constructive professional practice, will regard to life-long education as a professional obligation, will use sources of knowledge effectively and fulfill professional, ethical and societal obligations.
