A first assist technician is an allied health professional who specializes in assisting surgeons while performing operations.

First assist techs are also sometimes called surgical assistants, non-physician surgical assistants, surgical tech first assists, or simply first assists. No matter the title, first assist techs play a vital role in helping surgeons perform safe operations that result in optimal patient outcomes.
