Advancing Surgical Assistance, Elevating Standards

As the first organization in the country to establish standards of professionalism and proficiency for Non Physician Surgical Assistants, it is our mission to promote excellence, education, training, and professional certification. Our members are employed by hospitals, surgery centers and surgical assistant staffing firms. There are also large groups of independent contractor surgical assistants. Today, NSAA continues to enhance the quality of patient care by providing professional development to Non-physician Surgical Assistants through continuing education, certification, networking, publications and meeting with peers and other allied health professionals.
