Certified First Assistants
Certified First Assistants provide direct support to surgeons during operative procedures. Their responsibilities may include maintaining surgical exposure, assisting with tissue handling and bleeding control, and supporting wound closure under the surgeon’s direction and within their authorized role. Attention to detail, anticipation of procedural needs, and clear communication are central to effective first assisting.
MedSurge welcomes first assistants interested in opportunities with hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and surgical practices. Share your certification, specialty experience, availability, and preferred locations so we can explore potential assignments aligned with your background and the surgical team’s requirements.
