    On behalf of the Nevada AFP, we invite you to join us for up to 40 Credits of CME in 5 days, world-class downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and sledding at Heavenly Mountain Resort, and nightly receptions. Please join us for a package unequaled anywhere, and see why we can say it is "The Original and Still The Best" Winter CME Meeting in the West. The 2011 NAFP Winter CME Meeting will take place in South Lake Tahoe at Harrah's Lake Tahoe from January 23-27, 2011.

    The word "Tahoe" says it all...located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, this exquisite alpine lake sits at 6,225 feet above sea level and is surrounded by several of the finest ski resorts in the World.  Lake Tahoe has a ski season that runs from mid-November to mid-April, an average of 40 feet of ski-level snow per season and an average of 273 sunny days per year make Tahoe skiing legendary.  More than 20 ski areas are within an hour's drive and Heavenly Mountain Resort is just steps away from Harrah's Lake Tahoe.  With 30 lifts, 95 runs, and 4,800 acres of ski trails, there's something for everybody.

    We are excited to announce that this year's meeting will again be held at Harrah's Lake Tahoe!  Harrah's Lake Tahoe is located 50 miles from the Reno/Tahoe International Airport.  We believe everything you could want, and more than you would ever imagine, awaits you at Harrah's Lake Tahoe; from a comfortable convention center to magnificent rooms, health spa, beauty salon, as well as an indoor pool, 24-hour excitement, award-winning gourmet restaurants and casual dining outlets, gaming, and nightly entertainment.

    Ground transportation from the Reno/Tahoe International Airport is provided by car rental or by the South Tahoe Express, a luxury motor coach providing transportation to Harrah's Lake Tahoe from the airport at a reasonable price.  For additional information call 866-898-2463 or make reservations online at www.SouthTahoeExpress.com.

    We hope to see you soon,
    The 2011 Winter CME Planning Committee

    UPDATE October 6, 2009

    Attached is a statement from Board President Charles N. Held, MD regarding the use of medical assistants in the administration of prescription drugs. Pursuant to this statement, effective immediately physicians and physician assistants may allow medical assistants to administer prescription drugs as long as such a use of the medical assistant is done pursuant to NAC 630.230. If you use a medical assistant in your practice, you may want to review NAC 630.230 to refresh your understanding of that regulation and how it would apply to your practice.
