Course of the Month

Members of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) get more — including free access to a new continuing education (CE) activity each month through the Course of the Month program. As an AANP member, you can now earn up to 12 additional contact hours of free CE credit throughout the year!

Watch for emails from AANP highlighting these activities, then be sure to complete them during the month they are featured to benefit from free access. When a new month begins, previously featured Course of the Month activities will transition to the AANP CE Center, where they will be available to all nurse practitioners (NPs) for a fee — and available to members at a discounted rate.

Each Course of the Month activity will be presented by subject matter experts who are also AANP Community members. While members enjoy free access or extremely low rates on all AANP CE Center activities — and substantial discounts on conference registrations — the Course of the Month program further demonstrates AANP’s commitment to deliver valuable member benefits.
