Virginia Surgical Assistant Registration
 

As a practicing Surgical Assistant for the last 18 years, I have seen many examples of people who have let their skills drop by not having to keep up with their credentialing. This is not in the best interest of public safety. I also feel that the board should keep credentialing as a part of staying registered.
