This interactive workshop is designed to assist managers or others in the endoscopy setting to design an efficient and meaningful competency assessment program. Developing initial orientation and ongoing competencies will be evaluated based on current JCAHO standards. Participants are invited to bring their current competency tools for information sharing and evaluation by the group.

Section Description

We are pleased to present the abstracts from SGNA's 33rd Annual Course, SGNA on a Mission: Exceeding Expectations. The diversity of these topics certainly reflects the richness and breadth of our specialty. In keeping with the tradition of the Annual Course, we hope the following abstracts will encourage discussions for improving nursing practice and patient care outcomes.
