Congratulations to Terrence Burrows, Assistant Director of the MS Nurse Anesthesia program in Fresno who was recently awarded a federal grant from the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) for a Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT). This is the first federal award for a SHHS faculty member and it will provide the opportunity to apply for further funding of traineeships.  This is the first time that Terrence has submitted for federal funding and he did it while on military deployment!  Great work!
