CSTs form an important part of the surgical care team. They are responsible for patient transfers to and from the OR, situating patients on the operating table, prepping them for surgery, and assisting the physician during surgery. Additionally, surgical techs are trained in aseptic technique and are tasked with cleaning and sterilizing the OR and surgical instruments. Some operating room technicians may even manage the surgical supply inventory and place orders to ensure that surgeons have all the necessary tools and materials. CSTs can choose to specialize in particular case types and can select their clinical setting, as they are readily employable in acute care hospitals and outpatient surgery centers.

Surgical Technologists, also known as "scrub techs," "surgical technicians," “certified surgical techs,” or "operating room technicians," work as a part of surgical care teams and possess knowledge and skills in sterile and aseptic techniques. Certified Surgical Techs (CSTs) must anticipate the next moves of the surgeon in order to facilitate smooth and efficient procedures. To perform this duty, OR techs must have thorough knowledge of hundreds of surgical procedures and each of their steps. Surgical Technologists can find travel staffing opportunities in outpatient surgery centers and in acute-care hospitals.
