Perioperative Nurses Leading Research

Whether you're already a devoted researcher, or curious about how you might make your mark on perioperative practice through a research project, join your colleagues at AORN's annual Perioperative Nursing Research Symposium taking place live online over two, 4-hour sessions, from 10:00am-2:00pm MT, January 27 & 28, 2027.

Why Attend

AORN believes it is vital for nurses to contribute to the body of scientific knowledge around the care of surgical patients from the nursing perspective. This complimentary symposium spotlights how perioperative nursing research is shaping the profession, advancing evidence-based practices, and improving patient care and outcomes.

Participants will:

  • Learn how to fill gaps in evidence and advance perioperative practice.
  • Interact with colleagues who will present their research.
  • Discover the steps to disseminate evidence-based practice or research project findings.
  • Get ideas and mentoring from leading periop nurse researchers.
  • Receive 8 ANCC CH (American Nurses Credentialing Center Contact Hours).

“Perioperative science depends on discovering and translating knowledge. Without this science, we cannot advance quality care and improve patient outcomes. The AORN Nursing Research Symposium is one way to bring new science to the forefront. I hope you will join others from around the world who are committed to advancing perioperative nursing.”
