How Will My Employer Benefit from My Training?

Your employer benefits from a staff that will be able to:

• Perform at a skill level associated with experienced Certified First Assistants.
• Skillfully close surgical wounds while the surgeon writes orders, dictates, and sees the next patient. The time saved in the schedule will help your employer generate more surgical revenue.
• Make surgeons want to bring all their patients to your facility. Your employer will also be able to attract new surgeons.
• Recognize the facility as a center for professional growth and opportunity. Loss of your best people will be reduced and recruiting good people will be enhanced. That is vital in a down economy.
• Reduce your employer's liability as well as your own. Whether you are trained or not, you have to first assist when the scheduled assistant is late or doesn't show up. Assigning someone to first assist when they weren't trained for it puts your employer, your surgeons, and you in a smart lawyer's crosshairs. Proper training fixes this liability problem once and for all.

Your surgeons benefit because they get skilled surgical first assistants who:

• Make their procedures run more smoothly
• Make their surgical experience more pleasant
• Eliminate many of the so-called "unavoidable" frustrations of surgery
• Reduce the surgeon's liability
• Significantly reduce wasted time so they can see more patients and build their practice
• Reduce or eliminate the need for the surgeon to first assist
