Surgical technologists are essential members of our patient care team. They work hard assisting the anesthesiologist, nurses, and surgeons to ensure that each surgical procedure goes as smoothly as possible while focusing on patient safety. In honor of National Surgical Tech Week, we want to recognize and thank all our Amberwell Health surgical techs. Our operating room could not operate without them!
Impact on Patient Care
While surgical techs do not actually perform surgery on patients, they are integral members of the surgical team who make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives everyday. Patients rely on surgical techs to be prepared, responsible, and thorough in their roles so that each procedure runs efficiently and safely. During each shift, surgical techs get to be a part of procedures that can improve or even save a person’s life.
