Enhancing the profession to ensure quality patient care.

Our mission is to bring together surgical technologists and other pertinent healthcare professionals and organizations to promote quality patient care. This will be achieved 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.

The Ohio State Assembly of the Association of Surgical Technologists was chartered by our parent organization, The Association of Surgical Technologists, in 2001.
