Surgical Assistant Resource

The Number of Surgical First Assistants in practice in the United States is steadily increasing. According to information gathered by the Association of Surgical Assistants, in 2006 there were approximately 3,178 Certified Surgical First Assistants and another 800 Certified Surgical Technologists reportedly practicing as Surgical Assistants.

In 2009, the American Medical Association reported a total of approximately 5,000 Certified Surgical First Assistants. With more and more Surgical First Assistants graduating from accredited programs and obtaining the credentials CSFA (formerly CFA), CSA, and SA-C, a need has arisen to assist these individuals in gathering pertinent information about the profession and to network them together with their peers around the nation.

Surgical Assistant Resource is committed to supplying these allied health practitioners with the information they need to establish themselves in their professional careers. This site will keep Non-physician Surgical First Assistants connected to the information, training, news, and documentation that they need to further their careers and the profession as a whole. We believe that formal Education for the Surgical First Assistant coupled with Unity among the professional credentialing bodies is the pathway to the Advancement of the field.
