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.
