You'll also hear about the critical role CRNAs play in underserved areas, and why the rise of Anesthesiologist Assistants (AAs) has stirred up concerns about patient care and workplace dynamics.

In this episode of The CRNA Club Podcast, we’re discussing the pros and cons of front-loaded CRNA programs. If you’re in the thick of school selection or just curious about what front-loaded actually means for your day-to-day life and long-term success, this one’s for you.
You’ll hear firsthand insights from someone who thrived in a front-loaded setup, plus perspectives from current SRNA Courtney Lamb, who completed her didactic year remotely. We break down the major perks (like cost savings, staying local, and building a solid academic foundation) as well as the potential downsides (isolation, delayed hands-on clinical exposure, and how your learning style plays into it).
By the end, you’ll walk away with a clearer idea of whether this structure aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and learning preferences.
🎧 Stay tuned to the end for tips on how to combat isolation, build community, and make your decision based on what actually matters.

The biggest mistake that I see CRNA school applicants making? It’s not starting sooner. You can't come to us 3 months before your application deadline and ask, “What do I need to do to be more competitive?” And expect to be able to deliver. That's not going to give you enough time to retake one or two science classes, attend events, do projects, get involved in the things you need to get involved in. Sure, we can give you some suggestions, but submitting an application for CRNA school is a lot of work. You are asking for letters of recommendation from multiple people, you are spending time writing a personal essay, it's an emotional investment. You need time to get this all done strategically.
So what does that realistically look like from a timeline perspective?
Let’s break down each piece of the application process and how long each part takes.
