ASPAN 2026 Educational Needs Assessment

The purpose of this assessment is to identify current and emerging educational, clinical practice, professional development, and workforce needs of nurses across the perianesthesia continuum.

Your responses will help ASPAN identify and prioritize educational programs, resources, and professional initiatives that support safe, evidence-based, patient-centered perianesthesia care.

As you complete the assessment, please consider your current practice needs, areas where you would like to increase your knowledge or confidence, and topics that you believe will become increasingly important over the next several years.
