The Biennial Alumni Association Conferences are an opportunity for Wake Forest University School of Medicine Nurse Anesthesia Program (WFUSM NAP) alumni to connect, network, and learn. The agenda includes an update on current evidence-based practices, which are AANA-approved for class A CE credit. The meetings are designed to keep alumni informed about important program information and the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist health system. Alumni have the opportunity to attend the business meeting portion of the conference with the Alumni Board and participate in voting matters.
