Surgical Technology

A surgical technologist is a healthcare professional who works as part of a surgical team to ensure that the operating room is safe, well-equipped, and ready for surgery. They are responsible for preparing the operating room, including setting up sterile equipment and instruments, preparing the patient for surgery, passing instruments to the surgeon during the surgery, and assisting the surgical team after the procedure to ensure the patient's safety. Surgical technologists are part of the team that includes surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists to ensure the safety and efficiency of the surgeries. They help position patients on the operating table, count surgical instruments and sponges, and assist with closing surgical incisions.
