“Magic happens in the operating room on a daily basis\u2019” Featured on WIVB-TV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From scrubbing in, to memorizing instruments, to being the extra set of hands for a surgeon, there are many steps that Surgical technologists take every day to help assist in changing and saving lives in the OR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nothing like Grey Anatomy. You\u2019re not going to come in and just have romance in the ER or the OR, No. You are the surgeon\u2019s right man, and very important in the OR,\u201d said Brianne McDow, a first year surgical teach student at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of people just simply don\u2019t know what a surgical technologist is or what they do,\u201d said Dr. Linda Kerwin, the Dean of Allied Health at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½. \u201cA surgical technologist is essentially an extension of the surgeon\u2019s hands so they can work side by side with a surgeon. They pass off instrumentation, sponge material, dressing material, suture material and they work very closely right at the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During National Surgical Technologist Week, the field is being highlighted, especially as there\u2019s a high demand for more of these professionals locally and nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>, there\u2019s an overall growth rate of 5% for the profession, which is faster than the average of all occupations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
