WE NEED YOUR HELP!
PLEASE MAKE THE CALL AND WRITE TO YOUR SENATORS & REPRESENTATIVES
Massachusetts has a bill (SD 1211) in the legislature requiring board certification for surgical technologists. This
bill is a collaboration between representatives from national and local AORN and AST organizations. It is important
for surgical technologists to get the deserved recognition while respecting and helping to preserve the licenses of nursing
community. We are confident that the communication and further collaborative efforts between all stakeholders will continue
with a final bill that satisfies all parties.
However, WE NEED YOUR HELP! There is strength in numbers. In order to help fellow surgical
technologists participate in the legislative process, we have included sample letters for you to download. Click
here for a letter you can use.

The committee chair's address is included in the letter. After you have completed your letter, please mail an additional copy
of all of your letters to us. They can be forwarded to:
