The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) is excited to announce the 2021 Infectious Disease Regional Institute. The Institute will be virtually held on Thursday, November 4, 2021.

The first regional institute will be held on November 4, 2021, for the IHS Bemidji and Nashville service areas. The dates for the remaining two regional institutes are to be determined. CME, APA/NBCC, and NAADAC continuing education credits will be offered.
