At Maverick Medical Education, collaboration is at the core of everything we do. By working alongside universities that share our commitment to advancing patient care, we’re helping shape the future of anesthesia education through hands-on, clinically relevant training that prepares students for real-world practice. 

That collaboration continues to grow in measurable ways. In 2025 alone, Maverick trained over 487 RRNAs across 14 nurse anesthesia programs, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in advanced anesthesia education. Since 2020, SRNA/RRNA participation in Maverick training has steadily increased, reflecting both growing demand and expanding institutional partnerships. 

Shared Goals, Measurable Impact 

Our impact extends beyond attendance alone. Through targeted initiatives like scholarships and tailored university programming, Maverick continues to increase access to advanced training while maintaining high instructional standards 

Our university partners include some of the most respected anesthesia programs in the country: 

Each of these programs plays a vital role in developing skilled, compassionate anesthesia providers, and Maverick is proud to support that mission. 

Expanding Access Through Scholarships & Specialized Training 

The Hank Dougherty Memorial Scholarship was established to honor a late CRNA pioneer who played a pivotal role in introducing Maverick Medical Education to ultrasound-based training. Hank’s passion for education and unwavering support of students continue to influence Maverick’s mission today. 

Each Maverick course offers four RRNA scholarship spots at the significantly discounted Hank Dougherty rate, expanding access to hands-on regional anesthesia and ultrasound training. In 2025, more than 30 RRNAs attended the Mastering Regional Anesthesia Techniques course through this scholarship, gaining advanced skills while carrying forward Hank’s legacy of mentorship.  

A Shared Commitment to Excellence 

We’re deeply grateful to every university that has partnered with Maverick, trusting our instructors, embracing immersive learning, and helping us expand the reach of hands-on anesthesia education nationwide. 

As we look ahead towards the new year, Maverick remains committed to growing these partnerships, supporting additional programs, and continuing to deliver scalable, high-impact training experiences. Together, we’re preparing the next generation of anesthesia professionals, one lab, one student, and one partnership at a time. 

If your program is looking to enhance hands-on learning opportunities in the year ahead, we’d love to collaborate. Reach out to learn more about university partnership opportunities.
