Surgical assistants are also members of the operating room team. These professionals can do all the work that surgical technologists do, but they often have a more hands-on role during the procedure.
Once certified, a surgical assistant can become a Certified First Assistant (CFA) or Certified Surgical Assistant (CSA). Like CST and TS-C certification, the certification process for CFAs and CSAs can improve a candidate’s resume and open doors for higher paying jobs.
Surgical techs are members of the medical teams that work in operating rooms. Their duties often include the following tasks:
Preparing the operating room for surgery
Setting up the surgical instruments and equipment
Maintaining sterile conditions
Monitoring the patient and equipment during surgery
Prepare patients and transport them to and from surgery
