What is a Surgical Technologist?
During World War II, the need for perioperative personnel was overwhelming. The role of the surgical technologist was born and evolved into a separate allied health field. Surgical technologists serve as an integral part of the surgical team providing surgical care to patients. Surgical technologists work under the supervision of a surgeon to facilitate the safe and effective conduct of surgical procedures.

We hope you will spend the day with us and earn 5 Live CE's. This event is for Kansas Members/students only due to being on zoom per AST guidelines.
