Certified Operating Room Assistant

Of course, you can continue to learn yourself through, among other things, e-learnings, clinical lessons, and continuing education sessions provided by medical specialists, fellow operating room assistants, and suppliers. If you have a strong affinity for a specific specialty, you can become a subject matter expert or specialty elder. And if you have leadership ambitions, there are various career advancement opportunities. You can also further develop other talents with us; for example, there are colleagues who provide CRM training or conduct testing regarding reserved procedures, participate in the peer support team, act as an ergo-coach, are part of an audit team, or are BLS instructors. In short, as an operating room assistant, there are plenty of opportunities for growth.

As an operating room assistant at Amsterdam UMC, you ensure that patients can undergo their surgery safely within a multidisciplinary team. Depending on your specialty, you assist surgeons during long or short procedures. These are primarily the more rare and complex treatments and often involve emergency patients.

Since we are a university medical center, we also conduct extensive scientific research, develop new medical techniques, and train students. One of your tasks as an operating room assistant is therefore to mentor these operating room assistants in training.

Amsterdam UMC has a partnership with defense, which makes it possible to work as an operating room assistant for defense and be deployed.
