Surgical first assists are directly in the middle of the intersection of outcomes, revenues, and cost control. The surgical first assist is like the suture running through the entire surgery process, holding it all together. Why is this relevant to us?

I was already functioning as an experienced first assistant when I started, so for me RASA is a stepping stone to get certified and say I’m legitimate.
