@@themexicanpa D Definitely didactic! First semester nearly over. Thanks for the great content!
Awesome! Gonna watch this interview after studying tonight (fellow PA student here)
Scrub tech can be a first assistant as well. So pretty much anyone on the surgical team can become a first assistant.

You're right friend, scrub techs can definitely first assist! As for the second part of your sentence, I wouldn't entirely agree. For example, a cardiac surgery perfusionist or medical device representative is part of the surgical team but would never be found first assisting. Saludos!
