Perioperative Program Approval

Approval Process

Programs interested in seeking Perioperative Program Approval are directed to contact the ORNAC Education Director at education@ornac.ca. Successful programs will maintain an approval status for 3 years. 

Current Application Fees: $1,500.00 (Payment must be received prior to commencement of approval process)

Approved Perioperative programs will qualify for the following benefits:

  • Posting of Approved Program Information on the ORNAC Website;
  • Posting in the ORNAC Journal;
  • EBlast to Members regarding new or renewed Approved Programs; and
  • Posting on various ORNAC Social Media accounts of Program Approval.

Note: ORNAC’s Approval Process for Perioperative Programs is available only for those educational programs offering post-basic education for Registered Nurses. Programs offering perioperative education to both Registered Nurses and other health care providers within the same program will have only the RN curriculum evaluated or approved by ORNAC.
