A long-standing myth in the operating room continues to circulate is that surgical technologists work under the license of the OR nurse. In this week's episode of First Case, we're setting the record straight.

Tune in as we speak with Angel Pickett, Surgical Technology Program Director at Connecticut State Community College, Gateway Campus. Together, we'll explore:

• The education, training, and certification requirements for surgical technologists

• The true scope of practice and delegation under surgeon supervision

• How clear understanding of roles strengthens collaboration and teamwork in the OR

This insightful conversation challenges misconceptions, promotes professional respect, and highlights how every member of the surgical team contributes to patient safety and excellence in care.
