Include ABSA
 

I am requesting to include ABSA to the approved credentialing agencies. I do agree the importance of regulations and standardized patient care.

ABSA has certified good quality of surgical assistant for many years and maintained a documented clinical experience, CME, CPR or ACLR of each member in order to get a recertification. Is really sad not to include ABSA in VA  for certified agencies
