Barkley & Associates is the only nurse practitioner (NP) continuing education company owned and operated by an NP educator with 26 years of full-time faculty experience who also worked through the university academic ranks from Instructor to full Professor.

With consistently outstanding evaluations, Dr. Barkley has presented Continuing Education and Live Certification Review/Clinical Update Courses for thousands of NPs since 1998.

Obtaining a PhD in Nursing with subspecialties in Nursing Education and Nursing Education Administration, Dr. Barkley is by far the most qualified educator to design, coordinate, and deliver exceptional Continuing Education and Live Certification Review/Clinical Update Courses for NPs.
