About Us

Since 1969, the Association of Surgical Technologists has sought to bring together Surgical Technologists and other health care professionals and organizations to promote quality patient care by developing educational programs, promoting professional standards and credentials, providing a forum for the exchange of ideas, monitoring the changing healthcare environment, and fostering other opportunities for the personal and professional growth of all Surgical Technologists and Surgical Assistants.  ​

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to provide Surgical Technologists the opportunity to grow through continuing education, legislation, and marketing. By networking with other healthcare professionals, we will ultimately contribute to the care of our surgical patients. 
We are enhancing the profession to ensure quality patient care.
