ABSA neglected

The American Board of Surgical Assistants(ABSA) SA-C (surgical assistant certified) credential is not mentioned as part of a nationally recognized certification.  Most states recognize the SA-C from ABSA since 1980li, 's and a lot of Surgical Assistants in Virginia hold the SA-C. These people shouldn not be neglected.
