Step into a pivotal role as a Surgical Tech with KU Medical Center in Kansas, where precision, teamwork, and patient-centered care converge to make a tangible difference on every procedure. In this travel opportunity, you will support surgeons, scrub, pass instruments, and ensure sterile technique while you advance your expertise in a fast-paced operating room. Imagine the impact you can have as you move between cases, refine your skills, and contribute to a team that values safety and precision as much as compassion. And while you chase excellence, you’ll also discover why Kansas is a remarkable place to practice medicine: wide open skies, vibrant communities, rich history, and access to outdoor adventures just a short drive away. The opportunity invites Surgical Techs to envision themselves growing within a renowned academic medical environment that blends state-of-the-art technology with hands-on mentorship, creating a fertile ground for mastering intricate procedures and expanding your scope of practice. Kansas offers a balanced lifestyle with advanced facilities, supportive networks, and the chance to experience a variety of settings within the state’s thriving healthcare landscape. KU Medical Center provides world-class resources, ongoing training, and a collaborative culture where every scrub and instrument handoff contributes to safer, more efficient outcomes. For those who crave variety, this travel assignment can also stretch across diverse locations nationwide, expanding your clinical exposure and professional network—from bustling metropolitan centers to close-knit communities that prize patient-first care. You’ll enjoy the opportunity to work in different operating rooms, learn differing protocols, and build resilience and adaptability that set you apart in any OR team. This role emphasizes not only clinical excellence but also the personal growth that comes from navigating new environments, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and delivering consistent, compassionate care under pressure. As a Surgical Tech on assignment, you’ll be at the center of the operating room workflow. Your key responsibilities include preparing the sterile field, assisting the surgical team with instrument handling and setup, counting supplies, maintaining aseptic technique, and anticipating needs during complex cases. You’ll monitor equipment, communicate clearly with surgeons and circulating nurses, and support patient safety from pre-op through post-op transitions. The position offers meaningful chances for professional growth within the surgical tech specialty—advancing your technical proficiency, expanding your repertoire with specialty cases, and exploring opportunities to lead by example on the floor. In addition to competitive pay, this role offers a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to keep you connected with a team you trust and an environment that respects your contributions. Weekly pay ranges from $2,046 to $2,108, with scheduling designed in flexible blocks that align with the patient needs and the hospital’s rhythms. While the contract is described in weeks, you’ll find a steady rhythm that supports skill refinement and career momentum. Please note that there are no guaranteed hours; compensation is commensurate with actual hours worked within the stated framework. The program includes round-the-clock support for traveling professionals, ensuring you’re never navigating a complex case alone and that you have immediate access to guidance and resources when you need them. Beyond the operating room, the organization’s values center on empowering staff to grow within a supportive, inclusive culture. You’ll be encouraged to pursue continuing education, participate in mentorship initiatives, and take on leadership opportunities as you demonstrate capability and reliability.
