SAN DIEGO (Dec. 2, 2020) Perioperative nurses assigned to Naval Medical Center San Diego's (NMCSD) Main Operating Room pose for a photo Dec. 2. The nurses are December 2020 graduates of the Perioperative Nurse Training Program. The purpose of this training is to provide Nurse Corps officers with the basic skills and knowledge to safely function as a beginning-level operating room staff nurse. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way many facets of healthcare are conducted, and NMCSD has adapted some of its techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high-quality healthcare they’ve come to expect. NMCSD’s mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high quality healthcare services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research. NMCSD employs more than 6,000 active duty military personnel, civilians, and contractors in Southern California to provide patients with world-class care anytime, anywhere.
