 Background |
Foreign trained doctors face immense challenges getting a license to practice in the United States. Not only must they relearn the medical profession in English, but many must also work to support themselves and their families. The problem however resides in the fact that many tend to be older by the time they arrive in the United States, sometimes too old to dedicate years to studying for exams and finding and completing a residency program.
While a good number has been able to obtain licenses and practice medicine. Others have chosen to settle for work in fields that have nothing to do with medicine. For instance it is not uncommon to find neurosurgeons and other highly respected foreign medical specialists working as Real Estate agents, mortgage brokers, warehouses & factories workers or gas station attendants.
At Florida Educational Institute we want you to know, we value your foreign medical credential that is why our Surgical Technology for Foreign Medical professional is designed to help you secure a medical career in the US in record time. |

| What Surgical Technician do? |
Surgical technologists are members of operating room teams, which most commonly include surgeons, anesthesiologists, and circulating nurses. Before an operation, surgical technologists help prepare the operating room by setting up surgical instruments and equipment, sterile drapes, and sterile solutions. They assemble both sterile and non sterile equipment, as well as check and adjust it to ensure it is working properly. Technologists also get patients ready for surgery by washing, shaving, and disinfecting incision sites. They transport patients to the operating room, help position them on the operating table, and cover them with sterile surgical drapes. Technologists also observe patients' vital signs, check charts, and help the surgical team put on sterile gowns and gloves.
During surgery, technologists pass instruments and other sterile supplies to surgeons and surgeon assistants. They may hold retractors, cut sutures, and help count sponges, needles, supplies, and instruments. Surgical technologists help prepare, care for, and dispose of specimens taken for laboratory analysis and help apply dressings. Some operate sterilizers, lights, or suction machines, and help operate diagnostic equipment. After an operation, surgical technologists may help transfer patients to the recovery room and clean and restock the operating room.
