We’re proud to see the NPAA represented on an international stage.

NPAA board members Mel and Sara recently attended the ICN NP/APN Network Conference in Nashville, connecting with Nurse Practitioners and advanced practice nursing leaders from around the world.

Mel also presented on Alberta’s Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Program (NPPCP), with a focus on informing and recruiting NPs internationally while sharing Alberta’s evolving approach to primary care.

A meaningful opportunity to strengthen connections, share knowledge, and bring Alberta’s NP community to a global audience.

Thank you, Mel and Sara, for representing NPAA! 👏
