Surgical techs are allied health professionals that work in the operating room. The operating room is a demanding environment, requiring careful planning and attention to both the surgeon and the patient, which is why surgical techs are such a vital part of the team. They are primarily focused on maintaining a sterile, organized environment as well as ensuring patient safety, however, they also perform a variety of tasks before, during, and after medical procedures. These often include cleaning and preparing the OR for surgery, transporting patients, administering medications, and suturing and dressing wounds.

Surgical techs may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Certified Surgical Technologist (CST), among others.
