Session took place in Seattle, WA at the 71st Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March-April 2011.
Looks like there are some really passionate and driven women helping in Guatemala. It’s great to see that kind of passion being distributed to other countries to help in so many ways. I have a blog that is related to surgical technicians at surgical technologist salary if you want to check it out sometime there is some nice information regarding the career and what they do.
I think it would be very interesting to incorporate some information of careers and job descriptions for surgical techs from other countries and what additional or other responsibilities they have.
