Greetings from Encore!
Congratulations to all the 2005 anesthesia graduates
who are now CRNA's! Your tedious hours of training and slumping
over volumes of books are over! Your new challenge will be developing
your expertise in order to provide optimal patient care. There is
no better way to enhance your knowledge than through your daily
clinical practice combined with continuing education. Stay current
on issues impacting your practice with Encore Symposium adventures.
Since the majority of CRNAs are focused on license renewal due July
31, 2006, we strongly recommend early registration. Last years programs
sold out 2-3 months in advance.
Take a moment to assess your CE Credit status, making sure you
are up to date for renewal. If you need a copy of an Attendance
Certificate from one of the Encore Symposiums attended, please let
us know.
We are pleased to bring you up to date on our 2006 programs.
