This annual conference is planned to update the nurse anesthetist on some of the latest issues, techniques and skills to support their provision of the safest, most effective patient care. Speakers, location, and topics are selected based upon specific requests from past participants.
Participants can choose to attend one, two, three, or all four days of the conference.
Contact hours are approved by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. An optional hands-on workshop is sometimes offered at the end of the week allowing nurse anesthetists to update their skills in fiberoptic assisted intubations, laryngeal mask airways, airway adjuncts, epidural and subarachnoid blocks and ACLS recertification. This is a limited enrollment workshop with demonstrations and practice on mannequin training aids. Each year this audience has grown in size and satisfaction with this major conference for nurse anesthetists. Close to 300 nurse anesthetists from 40 states generally attend.
