Our signature summer meeting returns to Virginia Beach

Program Overview

Trusted for over 45 years, NAFA VCU is a cornerstone of one of the top nurse anesthesia programs in the nation—dedicated to advancing excellence in nurse anesthesiology education and practice.

Join us for our Evidence to Implementation conference, featuring 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 and save with our bundled package. Lunch included.
