Operating Room Technician

Duties and responsibilities:

Operating room technicians are in charge of preparing and operating rooms for surgery. They’re responsible for having surgical instruments, sterile bandages and linens, needed fluids, and any other equipment. They hand the doctor any instrument needed during the operation.

Average Salary:  $16,000 - $22,000

Educational Requirements:

Must have a high school diploma or GED certificate. Students receive training in medical terminology, physiology, and sterilization methods. Must pass an examination by the association of Surgical Technologists to become certified.


Reflection: I honestly would not like to be this because I’d probably panic throughout the operation.
