Those who participated in developing and teaching the courses gained many new skills including writing objectives and test questions, public speaking, and expertise in the topics they taught. Another benefit was the sense of pride and accomplishment in developing and presenting a quality postgraduate program. This was reinforced by student evaluations as the course progressed. In addition, they were paid by the college as salaried faculty members. The clinical preceptors benefited through the relationships they developed with their students. They were given the opportunity to exhibit their clinical skills and experienced pride and satisfaction as their novice colleagues grew. The students reaped the benefit of instruction from perioperative nurses who were enthusiastic and committed to the practice of perioperative nursing. They also received information from experienced nurses who were functioning in the OR on a daily basis. The small class size was another benefit because it allowed ample time for questions and individual instruction. Project Alpha has been an ongoing focus of the AORN of Alameda County for approximately 10 years. The chapter began with a three-day observational experience for sophomore nursing students and moved on to include a perioperative elective and management preceptorship for upper-division nursing students. Most recently, the chapter has supported the postgraduate perioperative course described in this article. The nurses completing this postgraduate program enter perioperative practice with a strong base of knowledge and sense of professionalism.
参与课程开发和教学的人员获得了许多新技能，包括编写教学目标和测试题、公开演讲以及在所教授主题方面的专业知识。另一个好处是在开发和呈现高质量研究生课程方面的自豪感和成就感。随着课程的推进，学生评价进一步强化了这一点。此外，他们作为学院的带薪教员获得报酬。临床带教老师通过与学生建立的关系而受益。他们有机会展示自己的临床技能，并随着新手同事的成长而体验到自豪和满足。学生们从热情且致力于围手术期护理实践的围手术期护士的指导中获益。他们还从每天在手术室工作的经验丰富的护士那里获得信息。小班教学是另一个好处，因为它为提问和个别指导留出了充足的时间。大约10年来，阿尔法项目一直是阿拉米达县围手术期注册护士协会持续关注的重点。该分会最初为大二护理专业学生安排了为期三天的观察体验，随后又为高年级护理专业学生增设了围手术期选修课和管理实习项目。最近，该分会支持了本文所述的研究生围手术期课程。完成这个研究生项目的护士带着扎实的知识基础和专业精神进入围手术期护理实践。
