Courses and Programs


Continuing Education

Continuing educational development is supported by an active Nursing Center for Clinical and Professional Development, on-unit nurse educators and on-site educational opportunities. Most programs are awarded contact hours via the Massachusetts Association of Registered Nurses. As part of Lahey's commitment to lifelong learning, all programs are offered free of charge to licensed nurses at Lahey and those who have retired from Lahey. In addition, an extra benefit to our licensed nurses is a pro-rated paid day of continuing education.

Pre-registration is required to participate in our continuing education offerings. To reserve your spot in a current continuing education session, leave a message on our hotline voicemail at 781-744-8708 or call 781-744-8725 or 781-744-8552.
