Our History

Established in 2014, Stryker’s Learn Program was originally launched at the AORN Conference and Expo in Chicago in conjunction with AORN as a $500,000 grant. Through this grant the AORN Foundation was able to award 180 scholarships to nurses to advance their professional development. The grants awarded to each applicant covered the cost of the conference registration and travel expenses, in addition to a one-year AORN membership. Since then, this program has invested more than $1.25 million in scholarships. We are proud to say the Learn Program has evolved into one of the most comprehensive O.R. medical education programs.

Today, we have the pleasure of offering a variety of educational seminars and training programs, which combine extensive research findings and industry knowledge with practical applications to enhance your understanding of medical technologies, procedures, and solutions in the O.R. These sessions are designed to provide updates about clinical decision making to further enable nurses to optimally work alongside the surgeon, anticipate patient needs, and follow through with appropriate care.
