Dear Sir, Madam,

I would like to emphasize that I as a certified surgical assistant by the American Board of Surgical Assistant do my work in the state of Virginia since I came to USA in 2007. All my colleagues and myself know that you have a legislation proposed not to recognize the American Board of Surgical Assistants. We are very happy that all the states in USA do recognize and allow the certification of the ABSA. I hope you will consider this and do recognize the American Board of American Assistants and allow us to continue practicing as surgical assistants.

Thank you in advance

Best regards

Ibrahim Elfadil
