Familiarity with surgical instruments, operating room protocols, and tools like autoclaves and electronic health record (EHR) systems is essential. Strong teamwork, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm under pressure are valuable soft skills for this role. These skills ensure surgeries run smoothly, patient safety is maintained, and effective support is provided to surgeons and nursing staff.

You may work alongside registered nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgeons, often rotating between different surgical specialties as needed.
