Our Vision

Pre-Op Canada is being developed to offer clinicians and healthcare workers an online platform providing up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge in pre-operative medicine. Our mission is:
“To provide accessible, evidence-based, and practical perioperative medicine education for healthcare professionals across Canada.”
We believe healthcare professionals should have access to high-quality educational resources that support clinical confidence, standardize best practices, and ultimately improve patient care.

The Challenge

As Canada’s population continues to grow and age, increasing numbers of patients require surgical care. High-quality pre-operative assessment plays a critical role in improving patient outcomes, reducing surgical delays, minimizing cancellations, and supporting efficient use of healthcare resources.

While healthcare professionals acquire perioperative expertise through clinical practice, formal training, and continuing professional development, practical, high-quality educational resources that are readily accessible online remain limited. We aim to help bridge this gap by providing structured, evidence-informed learning opportunities.

Pre-Op Canada will provide a comprehensive digital learning platform.
