Assisting in the operating room

Operating and anesthesia technicians (OTA/ATA) play a central role in patient care during a surgical procedure. Operating theatre assistants help to ensure that surgical procedures are carried out safely and efficiently, for example by ensuring sterile conditions in the operating theatre. Anesthesia technicians ensure the safety and well-being of patients before, during and after surgical procedures.

"Both professions are complex and require technical and medical expertise, precision and the ability to act calmly and efficiently in emergency situations. At the Medical Center - University of Freiburg, we want to offer trainees a safe environment in which to acquire these skills in theory and practice," says Tina Bogatsch, Head of the OTA/ATA School at the Academy for Medical Professions at the Medical Center - University of Freiburg.
