Your job is more than a job. As a trusted member of the operating room team, your top priority as a Surgical Technologist is a safe surgery for every patient. You’re the watch dog in the OR protecting patients from harm by maintaining a sterile environment. It’s all about preparation and anticipation, ensuring the instrumentation and equipment is there when the surgeon needs it. As a Surgical Tech you’re an extra pair of hands when needed passing out surgical instruments, positioning the patient, or sometimes, holding retractors if the surgeon asks. Stress? Not a problem, you say, because you thrive on responsibility, focus on the little things, and organize like nobody’s business. And that’s what we love about you. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, your empathy, compassion, personality, all of it adds up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this crucial surgical team role.
