Program Providers: Apply for MAC Ed Credit Approval for Your Programs
CRNAs/Nurse Anesthesiologists Depend on Providers Like You
We celebrate the educators and providers responsible for the development of high-quality education programs for CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists.
Prior Approval Programs
It is the program provider’s responsibility to apply for MAC Ed credit for prior approval and ensure credit reporting of a continuing education (CE) program, regularly scheduled anesthesia in-service program, or a provider-directed independent study program they want to provide at a future date.
New for programs with Nonsurgical Pain Management content! Program providers may request Pain Management designated CE credit for presentations that meet the Pain Management CE designation criteria found in the AANA CE Standards and Criteria.
For more information, contact continuingeducation@aana.com.
Group Non-Prior Approval Programs
If your program has been approved for CE credit from another recognized approval organization, you can apply for MAC Ed credit even after it was held.
