SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY
Instructor: Mrs. Rebecca Foltz
Surgical technologists are allied health professionals who function as integral members of the surgical team and work with surgeons, anesthesia providers, nurses, and other hospital personnel to assess and help deliver the highest-quality patient care.
They work under the supervision of a surgeon and may have many roles, for example, as scrub technologists, first or second assistant, or circulating surgical technologists. The surgical technologist possesses expertise in sterile and aseptic techniques and combines his/her knowledge of anatomy and physiology, surgical procedures, medical terminology, pharmacology, microbiology, and surgical instruments/technologies to facilitate the physician’s performance during diagnostic and surgical procedures.
