Good evening all,
Through a library search using our course resources, I went on another site which discusses the transition from being a surgical technologist to a first assist. A surgical technologist is there to help the surgeon/s in things such as help prep the surgical instruments by setting up the room, proper opening of surgical supplies, and equipment used in surgery. Though a surgical tech may not know the intimate details of a surgery, we know the steps to them, with that we can anticipate what the surgeon/s will need to make the surgery move along as it should. A first assistant, is not only one who can hand the surgeon what he/she needs, they they also take on a much higher level of involvement, almost like a surgeon.
A. This piece I found I trust is highly useful because it can help new and seasoned surgical techs help formulate a plan to step up their craft and create a plan that can get them to a higher level of patient care.
B. Until today, I did not know about this path for my specialty, I can even say with confidence that some of my fellow techs don’t know about it either. Therefore I find this to be highly valuable, not just to me, but even for the techs I work with, but as well as corpsmen that work in my facility looking to find a specialty.
C. Having met first assists throughout my training for surgical technologist, this specialty is a very real thing and because the training required to join this community is about as challenging as it is real.
For an individual to go from surgical technologist to a first assist in the Navy is probably unheard of, individuals that go this route and become first assists, they can continue to provide world class care and even take on some roles that nurses have. Essentially, a first assist, civilian or military, can act as a force multiplier which would greatly help the surgical team and especially to the patient.
