Certified Surgical First Assistant

A Certified Surgical First Assistant (CSFA) is a trained healthcare professional who works closely with surgeons during surgeries. They assist by preparing the patient and the operating room, holding tissues or tools, controlling bleeding, and ensuring the procedure runs smoothly. Their role is vital for patient safety and surgical success. To become certified, they typically complete specialized education and hands-on training, then pass an exam to demonstrate their skills and knowledge. CSFAs are essential team members in the operating room, providing focused support to facilitate effective and efficient surgeries.
