SURGICAL TECH GEEK
B I O G R A P H Y
My name is Kat and I am the person behind surgical tech geek on youtube!
My channel has reached a lot of students and I know how you all feel because I was once a student. I hope that my tiny little booklet could provide a sense of clarity and confidence in your surgical set ups. If you're interested in purchasing my surgical guide pocket booklet, the link is down below.

This channel was created to teach the art of surgical set-ups. The set-ups you see in my channel are from different techs, therefore, please respect their routine. It may not be perfect but it's a baseline for those who hasn't developed a routine just yet. Take it or leave it. We are all just trying to learn so any negative comments will be deleted and user blocked. Thank you and enjoy this channel.
