Embark on a fulfilling journey where every moment in the operating room holds the promise of purpose and precision. As a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) within one of New York's most innovative healthcare environments, you will play an indispensable role in surgical care - from meticulous pre-op preparations to the attentive closure post-procedure. But it's not just about what happens in the operating room; it's about becoming part of a community that thrives on connection, advancement, and opportunity.

This role transcends a mere occupation; it is a calling to which you're stepping forward. Whether you are an experienced CST or just starting on your surgical journey, your keen attention to detail, proactive nature, and resolve to improve patient outcomes will be embraced and honored daily.

• Exceptional communicative and collaborative capabilities in fast-paced environments
• Quickly able to prioritize and respond to the surgical team's needs

• Access to advanced surgical equipment and technologies
• Supportive leadership committed to valuing your skills and contributions
