Informative Websites

We occasionally hear from members who share interesting websites related to the practice. In the past, we have published them in previous issues of Instructors News, so surgical technology educators could utilize them as teaching resources.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â We also hope that you will share any website discoveries you have made so we can pass them along to other educators. Please send any surgically relevant website addresses to publications@ast.org. And we will be sure to review them.
