The MAC Program supports lifelong learning and the strong CRNA credential, protecting your ability to continue practicing as a CRNA, and is designed to meet the APRN regulatory requirements of every state Board of Nursing. 

• MAC Ed: CRNAs are required to earn 60 Class A credits through MAC Ed every four-year MAC cycle. These continuing education (CE) credits are earned by participating in CE courses or activities that sharpen your skills and increase your knowledge. 

• MAC Dev: Class B credits include a wide range of professional activities, such as teaching, publishing, and research. Unlike MAC Ed, earning credits through MAC Dev does not require prior approval or an assessment. 40 Class B credits are required every four-year MAC cycle. Any Class A credit (MAC Ed) earned in excess of the required 60 will automatically be applied to the Class B requirement (MAC Dev). 

• MAC Check: MAC Check is an updated approach to checking CRNAs' knowledge utilizing a longitudinal assessment format. These quarterly check-ins offers a series of multi-choice and multi-select questions conveniently available on mobile devices or personal computer. CRNAs are required to complete 13 quarters in the four-year MAC cycle.
