PERIOPERATIVE COURSES often are not available in undergraduate nursing programs, even though students are interested in the specialty. A VOLUNTARY SUMMER PROGRAM can provide opportunities that other clinical experiences cannot and can be a rewarding experience for faculty members and students. ONE SUCH PROGRAM has been established at a college in the southeastern United States. AORN J 88 (October 2008) 609–617. © AORN, Inc, 2008.
