The National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA) manages the certification of CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists. All courses must meet NBCRNA requirements to count toward a CRNA’s/nurse anesthesiologist’s certification. This includes 100 credits of continuing education and professional development every 4-year cycle. At least 60 must be MAC Ed credits and the remaining MAC Dev.
AANA Members can report MAC Dev credits.
MAC Dev credits do not require prior approval or an assessment. Qualifying activities must do at least one of the following:
Learn more from the NBCRNA about what qualifies for a MAC Dev Credit and review its MAC Dev table.
If you do not see an activity you believe may qualify as a MAC Dev activity, contact CPC@nbcrna.com to discuss whether that activity could be applied to the MAC Dev requirement.
AANA only handles the technical aspects of MAC Dev submissions while NBCRNA handles all matters pertaining to categorization, content, and credit.
If you are not an AANA member, it is your responsibility to maintain your MAC Dev credit activity records on your own and report them during your CPC Renewal every four years.
Submit new credits, upload supporting documents, and review your prior submissions
