Overview
NAFA sets sail on the Infinity for a seven-night Alaskan cruise out of Seattle, Wa. A member of our Millennium Class of ships, Celebrity Infinity is steeped with prestige and elegance. Dressed in polished marble, warm woods and etched glass, Celebrity Infinity consistently makes a long-lasting, premium impression. Expansive staterooms, specialty restaurants and one of the most rejuvenating spa facilities at sea are just some of the indulgences you'll find onboard. And on this special voyage, you’ll earn 20 continuing education credits.
The cruise meeting centers on discussion of patient safety issues in anesthesia. The problem-based teaching format incorporates the use of lecture presentations, video vignettes, case studies and group discussion showcasing the evolution of human error and crisis management techniques to enhance decision-making and problem-solving in practice.
