How to Identify and Present on Learning Gaps

​ARN's Rehabilitation Nursing Conference is renowned for delivering exceptional educational content. To ensure a commitment to delivering the latest advances in rehabilitation, the ARN Conference Planning Subcommittee diligently identifies and addresses areas where knowledge or professional practice gaps exist.
