title: Promoting perioperative nursing through international cooperation.
abstract: Adequate development of human resources is a challenge facing all societies and nations, especially those in transition from one development stage to another. Through international cooperation programs, perioperative nurses can share and exchange knowledge, experience, and expertise. They also can expand their clinical horizons, fostering collegiality and friendships and further advancing nursing professionalism internationally. In Israel, we developed and implemented a special, short-term course for perioperative nurses from developing countries. Planners and participants found this course to be an outstanding experience.
