1048 - A Foundation for the Future: Establishing AORN’s Periop 101 Training in Greece

Overview/Abstract: The AORN Periop 101 Master Trainer Course was recently implemented at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. Twenty-six experienced perioperative nurses from various hospitals across Greece participated in the program to be trained as administrators of Periop 101 for their respective institutions. Over a four-day period, participants received in-person instruction on the Periop 101 training platform and the resources available to Periop 101 Administrators. With the support of AORN specialists from the United States, the successful rollout of Periop 101 has established a strong foundation for the education and training of perioperative nurses throughout the country. This marked the first implementation of its kind in Greece, presenting both challenges and significant achievements.
