AST relies on and celebrates volunteers for
their valuable contributions of time, talent, and expertise. Volunteering takes
on many forms and ranges from something as simple as sharing an idea to
leadership roles on teams and boards. You’ll broaden your own occupational
knowledge, expand your leadership skills, and grow your network of colleagues.
Plus, you'll have an added sense of accomplishment knowing you've contributed
to the success and future of surgical technology and your profession.
