As a Surgical Technician, I believe that the patient always comes first and I pride myself on providing the best medical care possible. Each day I assist with preparing the OR for surgeries by making sure that the right equipment is ready, ensuring a sterile field throughout all procedures, and maintaining patient safety. On occasion, I have had the opportunity to help in the cadaver labs with attending surgeons and residents-in-training.
