Nurse anesthesiology’s largest advocacy event invites residents like you to go ALL IN. Join peers and AANA members nationwide to build advocacy skills, connect, and help shape the future of our profession and our patients.
Get the most out of Mid-Year Assembly. It all starts here.
Don’t worry — new advocates are always welcome. MYA helps you and other residents learn about key issues our profession faces at state, regional, and national levels. You’ll be trained and briefed on–site before meetings on Capitol Hill, with informative sessions from advocacy experts, including current and former members of Congress. Check out the full schedule to see what’s in store for you.
You won’t be alone. Hundreds of other like-minded residents will be there, ready to make their mark. The environment is supportive and welcoming — an ideal setting for exploring advocacy, connecting with mentors, and making a positive impact on Capitol Hill and in our profession.
You’ll have plenty of chances to meet industry leaders, potential mentors, and residents like you who are invested in the future of nurse anesthesiology. Add these events to your schedule:
“I encourage everyone — residents and CRNAs — to attend Mid-Year Assembly. It's not just about advocating for our profession. It's about advocating for our patients and the future of healthcare. Our profession is stronger when we work together.”
Residents, these events are ideal for you. Join in to learn how to advocate for yourself, your peers, and your profession.
This residents-only session will dive into key issues in nurse anesthesiology, help you understand the role of the CRNA-PAC, and prepare you to make an impact on Capitol Hill alongside your peers.
Learn how to communicate effectively with Congress and understand the distinct roles of constituent advocates and professional lobbyists.
Have a competitive fire inside? At this event, attendees compete as part of a team — or just watch — in mock Capitol Hill visits. Afterward, a former member of Congress will give tips and feedback. The goal is to learn how a Hill meeting unfolds and how to handle the unexpected.
Shaping the future of our profession takes all of us — residents, CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists, and aspiring anesthesia experts. Let’s go ALL IN and drive change together.
