Are you ready for what comes next?
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought national attention to nurse anesthetists and our role as health care leaders. Our skills have been recognized through a series of executive orders that lifted barriers to full practice authority and built momentum for positive change.
Elevate your influence, grow your network, and earn 6.75 Class A CE credits.
Join us at the AANA Leadership Summit to tailor your ability to guide teams in times of crisis and shape the future of our profession. In just two days, our live event will help you acquire and apply the skills to be an effective leader in nurse anesthesia practice — inside and outside of the OR. The only way to learn is LIVE ONLINE. Our 2020 Leadership Summit programming won’t be recorded or repeated.
