day, SutureStarXress Weekend Workshops! When you walk in the

January 2009 The
CCI accepts the new,
three day SutureStarXpress
Workshops as a second option (compared to the 6 day Workshops) for RNFA students' curriculum
beginning February 2009.
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).
