Build A Strong Evidence-Based Clinical Foundation

Periop 101: A Core Curriculum OR is the premier nurse education program for RNs entering the perioperative specialty through the main OR setting. It fully prepares nurses with consistent, current information in the classroom and online, and clinical experience to reinforce what they've learned.

The course combines hybrid (online and in-person) education that has been developed using AORN Guidelines for Perioperative Practice to provide RNs with an evidence-based, comprehensive clinical foundation to ensure optimal outcomes for surgical patients.

The Periop 101 program is developed, researched and continually updated to reflect the latest AORN Guidelines for Perioperative Practice and includes graduate-level QSEN competencies.

Hospitals and ambulatory centers that use Periop 101 report quality improvement, reduced training time for staff and educators, and stronger recruitment and retention.
