I work alongside surgeons, anesthesiologist, and the operative team to ensure a safe, sterile, and efficient surgical environment. I prepare operating rooms by setting up instruments, equipment, and supplies according to procedure-specific needs while maintaining strict sterile technique. I scrub in and assist during procedures by anticipating the surgeon's needs, passing instruments, managing specimens, and maintaining organization of the sterile field. I am responsible for performing surgical counts, assisting with patient positioning and skin preparation, and ensuring all instruments and supplies are properly handled and accounted for. I also provide support in room turnover so that cases can keep flowing smoothly and efficiently.
