January 2009: NIFA has changed the name of RNFA Program II to RNFA Program 2.0. Our faculty feels that this new name more adequately reflects our technically advanced, online RNFA program as well as all of the extra state-of-the-art training that has been added to the 2009 SutureStar Workshops (i.e.; Lap Chole and EVH at every 6 day class. call about Xpress options).

 

2008 Faculty Appointment:

NIFA faculty is proud to welcome Glenn Geelhoed M.D., Professor of Surgery, George Washington University, winner of the 'Humanitarian of the Year' award, George Magazine 2000 to its RNFA Program Teaching Faculty.

Dr. Geelhoed has agreed to teach at our SutureStar Workshops in between his extremely busy schedule of global medical missions (Glenn has already headed eight missions in 2008). Even better, he has a personal goal of taking the expanded RNFA role to areas of the globe never imagined!
