Entry level: associate degree--are we ready?

We need to look at the educational preparation of the surgical technologist and consider the move to a single entry level, the associate degree. There are reasons to support the community college associate degree program. Cost effectiveness, integration into the main stream of allied health education, access to experts in their fields, controlled laboratory and clinical experience, transferability, and upward mobility are just a few. Let us learn from the problems of multiple entry that now plague nursing education. We are young enough not to have become entrenched. Let us declare a single entry, associate degree level now.

The purpose of the article is to educate surgical technologists in ways to protect themselves at work. The only way to stop AIDS at this time is to prevent its spread. Prevention means education. There is no reason to fear caring for AIDS-stricken patients when precautions are taken.

Medicare program; assistants at surgery--HCFA. Interim final rule with comment period.

These revised regulations provide that Medicare will pay on a reasonable charge basis for the services of a physician who actively assists the physician in charge of a case in performing a surgical procedure (i.e., an assistant at surgery) in teaching hospitals only under certain specific conditions. They also establish new rules for determining the amount of payment for services furnished by assistants at surgery in all settings. These revisions, which are needed to implement section 113 of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-248) will ensure that reasonable charge payments for services of assistants at surgery are made in conformity with the Medicare law, and are reasonable in amount.
