AORN Education & Events

Take the first step to recognize, address, and eradicate the prevalent, disruptive behaviors that could be undermining your workforce culture. Designed for frontline healthcare leaders, this self-study is designed to help you cultivate a professional, supportive and respectful workforce culture.

Part of the ASC Academy Leadership Guides series, this course provides ASC leaders with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to plan, conduct and evaluate the effectiveness of emergency drills: fire, local anesthetic systemic toxicity, active shooter, cardiac arrest, hospital transfer, and malignant hyperthermia.

In this keynote presentation leaders will learn practical tools and strategies they can immediately implement to address workplace violence, bullying, and incivility within the healthcare environment. When leaders are equipped to address disruptive behaviors, employees stay, and patients achieve better outcomes.
