Data methodology
CRNA Tracker is built to help applicants compare programs faster, not replace official school guidance. Every school page should be treated as a planning aid until the applicant confirms the final requirement, cost, and deadline with the program.
Weekly reconciliation
Program records are reviewed on a rolling basis through a weekly reconciliation workflow. We show the last recorded update date where available, and applicants should verify critical requirements, costs, and deadlines on the official program site before acting.
Sources
School records are compiled from public program pages, official admissions pages, COA accreditation context where applicable, and school-published cost or catalog information. When sources conflict, the official program page is treated as the primary source for applicant-facing requirements.
Reconciliation and unknown values
The weekly reconciliation workflow identifies source changes and records review work; it does not mean every field was independently reconfirmed that week. When a program does not publish a requirement or the source is ambiguous, CRNA Tracker labels the field unknown or needing verification rather than treating it as “not required.”
Applicant experiences and aggregate claims
Testimonials require recorded permission, an attribution preference, and staff approval. Aggregate behavior or outcome claims require an approved methodology and a minimum sample size. A revoked record is removed from public output.

Correction workflow
Corrections are reviewed against official school sources before the school record is updated. The fastest correction includes the school name, field that changed, official URL, and the exact value shown by the program.
