Surgical Technologist Employment
Surgical technologists held about 86,000 jobs in 2006. About 70 percent of
jobs for surgical technologists were in hospitals, mainly in operating and
delivery rooms. Other jobs were in offices of physicians or dentists who
perform outpatient surgery and in outpatient care centers, including
ambulatory surgical centers. A few technologists, known as private scrubs,
are employed directly by surgeons who have special surgical teams, like
those for liver transplants.
