Continuing Education
The profession of surgical technology is always changing and expanding.
New technological developments and surgical techniques are revolutionizing
the operating room.
Providing you with the highest quality continuing education programs
is a primary element in AST’s mission. AST is committed
to keeping you prepared for the unexpected, so that patients always
receive the best possible care.
The National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) recognizes the AST Continuing Education Policies for the CST and CSFA and accepts continuing education credits as defined by AST policy. AST provides processing of continuing education credits for the NBSTSA.
