An increasing number of older patients and technological advances in surgical procedures are among the factors responsible for the surging volume of operations performed in the United States today. Although surgeons are responsible for performing these procedures, you do not have to become a doctor to be an integral member of the surgical team. Surgical technologists are specially trained to work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, registered nurses, and other personnel before, during, and after treatment.
