Overview

Join NAFA in a beautiful New England atmosphere of seaside-styled hotels from the late 1800s, where Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts welcome guests into a nautical world of hardwood floors, brass fittings and luxurious accommodations. A world-class faculty has been assembled to offer four days of continuing education in diverse and clinically relevant anesthesia topics.

NAFA is pleased to have John J. Nance, JD, renowned author and Aviation Analyst for ABC World News and Good Morning America, as our key note speaker.  His most recent book for American Healthcare, entitled Why Hospitals Should Fly, has won the prestigious “Book of the Year” award for 2009 by the American College of Healthcare. John Nance is one of the nation’s most in-demand healthcare speakers and consultant.  His culture changing message detailing the solutions to the patient safety and quality care crises resonate deeply with all healthcare audiences.

By staying at a Disney resort, NAFA registrants will enjoy theme park tickets at convention rates, extended theme park hours, free transportation within all of Walt Disney World and complimentary service to and from the airport aboard Disney’s Magical Express.

Relax along Stormalong Bay — a three-acre lake — where you can enjoy water slides emerging from the life-size replica of a wrecked ship, lagoons, a slow river to float along in inner tubes and a sand-bottom pool.
