Surgical Technologists assist in surgical procedures under the supervision of surgeons, registered nurses, and other surgical personnel. Most work in hospitals, but some work in outpatient care centers or in offices of physicians who perform outpatient surgery.
Employment of surgical technologists is projected to grow 12 percent through 2026, faster than the average for all occupations.*
