It is known that Regulations are very important in Medicine as we need to give the utmost and standardized care to clients. Every health professional should abide by those regulations and continue to do our Job. I know that the american board of surgical assistants is doing a magnificent job in certifying and recertifying surgical assistants and helping the health care standard of the country. There are a lot of foreign trained surgeons who were given a chance to work as a surgical assistant by ABSA in addition to the students who graduate from surgical assistant schools. I am writing this message to respectfully ask the regulatory body to consider ABSA as a very good certifying agent and give it a recognition. If there are things that they need to improve, the ABSA officials are very open and i am sure they will be very happy to engage in a constructive discussion.

Thank you very much
