Your Role in the Surgical Process

In the role of a Surgical Physician Assistant, you will provide more than just your technical expertise — you are a calming presence when unexpected situations arise and a reassuring voice whenever a patient's anxiety peaks. Your hands-on approach in the OR will juxtapose your role as a guide in the hallways, where you will help families understand diagnoses and offer support as patients plan their next steps.
