Surgical Technologists and Surgical First Assistants

                                                                                                                                                                           This page is for your State Assembly Officers and Board members to write a monthly column on what's happening in the field. 

                         Women's Health Workshop

 

The October 4 workshop on Women's Health Issues went off without a hitch.  Our first speaker reviewed gynecological anatomy, followed by a speaker on ectopic pregnancies, a lecture on ovarian cancer, and an update on treatments for breast disease.  Post-lunch  speakers covered the reversal of tubal ligation, and fertility surgeries.

 

At our annual business meeting, the assembly voted to correct one of our by-laws to come within National AST's guidelines.  We then elected new officers and board members.  They are:

 

      President:             Robert Goodrich, MD, CST

      Vice-President:    Sharyl Fields, CST

      Secretary:             Mimi Conway, CST

      Treasurer:             Robert Bush, CST, CFA

      Board Members:  Ed Kircher, CST, CFA

                                   Karena Starr, CST

                                   Donna Mitchell, CST

                                   Monica Cervi, CST

                                   Linda Morey, CST

 

Our next Board meeting will be in Casa Grande on December 13.  This is open to all AST members who wish to observe.
