NAFA CE Designed by CRNAs
Our CRNA team creates and delivers content programming and brings together interdisciplinary experts to give you tools you need to skillfully care for patients.
Whether you are a seasoned CRNA, a new nurse anesthesiologist, RN, or aspiring CRNA, you'll get the latest evidence-based practice information that inspires positive patient outcomes.
NAFA VCU is the continuing education arm of Virginia Commonwealth University's Department of Nurse Anesthesia, one of the nation's top ranked programs for the nurse anesthesia specialty. We reinvest all CE earnings into student experiences, groundbreaking research, and patient safety innovations, and you can earn recognition as an Evidence-Based Practice CRNA Leader with the first-ever CRNA microcredentials in the field.
