Why this is worth applying to

Only worth applying if you are a qualified surgical first assistant, RNFA, PA, or OR-trained clinician seeking a labor and delivery clinical role. It is not a non-clinical transition opportunity.

Who should apply

Certified surgical assistants, RN first assistants, physician assistants, or OR-trained clinicians with obstetric/cesarean or labor and delivery experience.

CV angle

Emphasize real sterile technique, first-assist experience, cesarean section support, labor and delivery OR workflows, maternal/fetal safety, and multidisciplinary teamwork. Do not reframe this as a non-clinical role.

Skills to highlight

  • Surgical first assisting
  • Sterile technique
  • Cesarean section support
  • Labor and delivery OR workflows
  • Patient safety
  • Multidisciplinary teamwork

Role summary
