18VAC85-160-60 Renewal of licensure for a Surgical Assistant
 

I am a Certified and Licensed Surgical Assistant currently practicing throughout Virginia with the Organ Procurement Organization, LifeNet Health. I emphatically support all of the Board's proposed recommendations for Surgical Assistant Licensure renewal, particularly requiring the completion of 38 continuing education that can be validated by the Nation Surgical Assistant Association.
