About The Position

The Orthopaedic Surgery Center (OSC) is a collaborative effort between the physicians of Concord Orthopaedics and Concord Hospital. The physicians of Concord Orthopaedics work with anesthesiologists, nurses, and operating room and recovery staff to ensure patient safety and excellence in care. Day surgery centers - like the OSC - are designed for patients who are safe to come in and go home on the same day as their surgery. The procedures offered at the surgery center are those which can be performed under local, regional or general anesthesia, and are deemed safe for a short post-operative observation period followed by an at-home, same-day recovery. At the OSC, we know surgery in any setting can be intimidating, which is why we strive to create an atmosphere that is comfortable, safe and convenient. A Sign On Bonus of $7,500 is available for experienced surgical techs. This role provides surgical care to patients within the operating room under the supervision of perioperative nurses and/or surgeons. It utilizes AORN standards, recommended practices, and guidelines as a reference to ensure quality, safety and appropriateness of patient care.
