Welcome to the Chesapeake Bay Perioperative Consortium!!The consortium was founded in 1999 by area hospitals and medical centers located in Maryland and Virginia. The purpose, then and continues today, is to promote clinical excellence and provide educational opportunities in Perioperative Nursing for nursing professionals to better care for patients, families, and the community at large. Quality educational experiences are obtained through collaborative efforts of all members within the consortium.

Consortium was started with 10 member hospitals in 1999 and has now grown to 27 institutions in 2015.

Courses are held three times a year: March, July, and October
