What skills should I have for being a surgical technician?

I want to become a surgical technician in hopes of becoming the first surgical assistant along these lines. I'm about to enter into the surgical technology. I want to prepare myself for what's to come and make sure that I'm on the top of my game. I also would like to know what a surgical technician does from day to day in detail. Thank you!

I want to be a Surgical Technologist, how will I go about pursuing that?

I am a high school senior about to graduate and I was wondering if there is a way to be sure this is what I want to do, and to get an idea of the procedures I need to do to get into a Surgical Tech program. Also, what colleges offer Surgical technology programs? #surgery #surgical-assisting #surgical-careers #surgical-technology

How closely related are Surgical Technicians and Emergency Physican's Assistant? and which college would be best if I wanted to pursue those career fields?

I have narrowed my career choices down to either becoming a surgical technician or an emergency physican's assistant but I cant make a choice because both seem to fit me perfectly? #college #medicine #emergency-medicine #surgical-assisting #pharmacy-technicians

How to pursue two unrelated careers

I am passionate about psychology and want to be a psychologist, but I'm also interested in surgical technology and I dont know how to pursue both of these as they aren't related at all. #psychology #career-path #careers #general #therapy #surgical-assisting
