What is an OB Tech?

An OB/GYN (obstetrics/gynecology) technician, or simply OB tech assists doctors, nurses, and midwives during labor and delivery. As an OB tech, your duties include preparing and cleaning the delivery room and assisting in procedures involved in birth. You may also be required to perform basic clerical work and update patient records. Your job is to assist the medical professionals present during a birth in whatever ways necessary.

These competencies ensure efficient support for clinical staff, patient safety, and smooth workflow during labor, delivery, and surgical procedures.

Effective communication with nurses, obstetricians, and other team members ensures patient safety and smooth workflow, even during hectic periods.
