Surgical technologists are allied health professionals, who are an integral part of the team of medical practitioners providing surgical care to patients. 

Surgical technologists work under the supervision of a surgeon to facilitate the safe and effective conduct of invasive surgical procedures, ensuring that the operating room environment is safe, that equipment functions properly, and that the operative procedure is conducted under conditions that maximize patient safety.
