NAFA returns to the beach
Program Overview
Enhance Your Practice
Join us for our Evidence to Implementation conference, featuring up to 28 Class A CE credits with our signature NAFA programming.
We offer diverse and clinically-relevant content delivered by outstanding speakers and opportunities to earn the first CRNA microcredentials in the nurse anesthesiology specialty.
We schedule the lecture program to start and end early, giving you the content you need and plenty of time to enjoy the resort, activities, and the beach.
Want to maximize your CE learning? Stay for our afternoon hands-on workshops to refine your technique and apply the latest evidence-based practices. Register for one or both with a savings package. Lunch included.
