Beyond Clinical CE
CRNA Continuing Education Can Do More Than Check a Box
Continuing education is an essential part of a CRNA’s professional life.
Many continuing education programs appropriately concentrate on clinical
anesthesia knowledge, pharmacology, physiology and patient care.
But Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists who work — or plan to work —
as independent contractors also face an entirely different set of
professional decisions.
How should you evaluate a W-2 position versus a 1099 opportunity? What
should you understand before signing a contract? How do benefits change?
How should an independent practice be organized? What questions should you
be asking your CPA, attorney, insurance professional or financial advisor?
1099 Success Academy focuses on continuing education for the
business side of CRNA practice — helping clinical professionals
become more informed decision-makers about the careers and businesses
built around their anesthesia expertise.

1099 CRNA Continuing Education
Continuing Education for the Business of Independent CRNA Practice
A CRNA can be highly accomplished clinically and still feel unprepared for
the business decisions involved in independent practice.
That is why 1099 CRNA continuing education is different from traditional
clinical continuing education. The purpose is not to replace your CPA,
attorney, insurance professional or financial advisor. It is to help you
become a better-informed client of those professionals and a more
knowledgeable owner of your career.
Whether you are considering your first 1099 contract, optimizing an
established independent practice or planning a gradual transition toward
semi-retirement, business education can help you understand the decisions
that affect your compensation, schedule, benefits and long-term
professional flexibility.
