For 18 months we ran a pilot with AORN’s Periop 101 Program where we included 2 Procedures customized for AORN, the Lap Chole and the Hernia Repair. During this time period we had over 308 Learners use PeriopSim across almost all US states and beyond. Additionally we had a contest and ask learners to fill out a Survey. See the amazing results below.

PeriopSim works really well for training circulating nurses, following the instruments and the overall flow of a case. In a perfect world we would have all nurses run through simulations for each of the surgeons cases.

Learners are able to practice on their own time and reduce stress prior to walking into an unfamiliar case. On a Friday, a nurse was really struggling and I was able to send her home with PeriopSim so she could come prepared Monday to scrub into the same procedures all week.

VR is an innovative education tool that addresses adult learning principles; and engages auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners in a fun learning environment. I am excited to learn how VR can support Periop education and professional development!

As a surgeon, I rely on my surgical team being well prepared for every surgery. PeriopSim means clinicians can practice safely before surgery, which means a more efficient surgical team and better patient outcomes.
James Bond MD
Chief of Thoracic Surgery, Surrey Memorial Hospital & Fraser Health
Perioperative Nurses are critical members of the surgical team in ensuring that instruments are ready and available efficiently at every stage of a surgical procedure. PeriopSim offers the opportunity to provide surgical nurse training cost-effectively and efficiently outside of the operating room.
Dr. David Clarke
Surgeon, Head of Neurosurgery, Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia Health Authority
We asked over 500 perioperative nurses and educators to try out PeriopSim and tell us how valuable it is for learning instrumentation and steps of a procedure. Find out what they said about the roles it helps, the pain points it addresses and the most valuable learning features.
