Join Us for the NCNA Nurse Practitioner Spring Symposium

Meet with our team on March 22-24, 2026 for the North Carolina Nurses Association’s (NCNA) Nurse Practitioner Spring Symposium in Asheville! The NCNA website provides this quick overview: 

This event is a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues, engage in meaningful professional development, take part in high-level policy discussions, and explore offerings from quality vendors.

NC-PAL attends the symposium annually, and we’re excited to return once again. This event is always a great opportunity for our team to continue building relationships with NPs, who play a pivotal role in supporting children and adolescents’ behavioral health.

This year’s Keynote Speaker is Lynn Rapsilber (DNP, APRN, ANP-BC, FAANP), who will provide insights in her presentation, The Business of Nursing. Additional education topics from the agenda include: 

  • Exploring the Complex Dynamics of Religion, Coming Out, and Mental Health in LGBTQ Individuals
  • Beyond Prescribing: Advancing the Fourth "P", Psychotherapy, through EMDR in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Practice
  • Advancing Adolescent Substance Use Screening and Early Intervention in Primary Care

…and much, much more!

Register today to meet NC-PAL and connect with ~300 other NPs who are expected to attend this resource-packed event.
