Program Notes

The newest NSU Florida campus, accredited by CAAHEP in January 2025 and too new for any published outcomes. A Florida Society of Anesthesiologists newsletter welcomed an Orlando Class of 2028 (May 2026 matriculants for the 27-month program), though the program page does not say whether that was the first cohort. Cohort size is unpublished; the tuition schedule matches the other Florida campuses.
