There is no mention of having the American Board of Surgical Assistants(ABSA) SA-C (surgical assistant certified) credential as part of a nationally recognized certification. Most states that license, register or certify surgical assistants in the US recognize this professional designation and the omission in Virginia is not consistent with the standards of certification that have been in the industry since the late 1980's.
