ABSTRACT 

OR MANAGERS FACE INCREASING pressure to ensure nursing competency.

SUBSPECIALTY EDUCATION programs provide a critical foundation upon which eventual clinical competency will be built, but the relationship between competency and clinical performance is not yet well understood.

A VARIETY OF PERIOPERATIVE nursing subspecialty programs are described in the literature. These programs were examined in the context of the theoretical connection between education, clinical experience, and nursing competency. AORN J 88 (September 2008) 417–436. © AORN, Inc, 2008.
