Surgery is an exciting career choice that is constantly evolving as
technology and techniques become more advanced. With new advances in robotic
surgery, there is an increased need for highly trained individuals who are
willing to learn something new on a continuous basis.
Surgical procedures are
completed one patient at a time and the primary focus is to provide safe
efficient patient care. No two days are the same due to the uniqueness of
each patient, new training, or changes in technique or instrumentation. Project
Professionalism in education focuses on the behaviors necessary to promote a
patient centered effective cohesive team. This
unique patient is totally dependent on the highly specialized Operating Room
Team from the time the case is scheduled until the case reaches it's conclusion.
Surgery has opportunities available to you on many levels. You can
utilize a step by step approach that allows you to maximize time
and money wisely by choosing an entry point that meets your individual needs.
Each choice has its own education requirements. The sterile team members
include the surgeon, first assistant, and surgical scrub. The un-sterile
team members include the circulator and anesthesia personnel. Other
personnel such as a second scrub or x-ray person may be needed to perform
specialized procedures. As
we enter a new era of providing healthcare, we need individuals who are
interested in becoming an integral team member in the surgical field. To find
