Welcome,

Thank you for choosing the Elite School of Surgical First Assisting. Our first assistant program was designed with the first assistant in mind. Throughout this course we will cover multiple specialties and procedures. Our goal is to train competent and confident surgical first assistants who can perform in a multi-specialty surgical facility.

Over the duration of the ESSFA program you will be required to complete a variety of assignments. The reading and research assignments are designed to expand your knowledge of the topics covered. There will be required writing assignments covering surgical procedures, legal and ethical issues, and HIPPA guidelines and regulations. Your comprehension of this information will be of great value throughout your career as a first assistant. Even with a broad knowledge of surgical procedures and patient care issues, a surgical first assistant must demonstrate good technical skills. The suture and tying practice requirements and the six-day Technique Enhancement Course were designed and developed to perfect your technical ability. The final exams will be used to evaluate your understanding of the material covered in each section. We know you will benefit from this course.

Again, thank you for choosing the Elite School of Surgical First Assisting. Your success is our success and together we will both succeed.

Sincerely,

James E. Johnson III, CSA, SA-C
President
