title: Physician orientation to the operating room.
abstract: 1. Registered nurses and technicians in each of the hospital's different services serve as orientators for the physicians, increasing staff job satisfaction. 2. Physician orientation combines OR orientation with general hospital orientation; expands staff educational opportunities; increases awareness of resources; improves interdepartmental affiliations; and encourages satisfaction for physicians. 3. The orientation process recognizes staff as experts, giving them personal recognition. Follow-up gives the OR team a sense of where improvements can be made.
