The National Lymphedema Network looks forward to welcoming you to the 2021 NLN Conference - A Mysterious Experience of Lymphology. What a year it has been! We cannot wait to see you and finally be able to greet you with open arms, literally! With so many months of seemingly endless screen time for everything, we have decided to make the first part of our conference 100% clinical hands-on lab time. As lymphedema therapists, we heal best with our hands, but for some us our haptics are a little rusty. So, Part I of this year’s conference in Boston was designed so that there are no screens, no PowerPoint, no Zoom, nada. The only electronics are your phones, which you’ll use for checking in with your families at home, and the party lights that we’ll turn on at night.
A little more about Part I - it will be a live in-person meeting at the Westin Boston Waterfront taking place Friday, October 1 through Monday, October 4. There are 14 specialized concentrations of study and clinical competency that will be held concurrently and repeated 14 times over the course of 3.5 days. All conference attendees who attend all 14 labs AND successfully complete the established clinical competencies will be awarded the designation of NLN Expert Clinician. This is a new program offering that we are piloting and we are very excited to launch it this year. The Boston educational program is comprehensive and rigorous and is intended for the advanced clinician who already possesses a high level of expertise. The program welcomes engaged, passionate clinicians in the eternal pursuit of elevating their clinical logic and interventional skills. The first class roster will be infinitely acknowledged on the NLN website, receive a certificate, and be awarded a medallion of NLN Expert Clinician; and we are extremely excited to meet this exceptional group of clinicians.
