Prepare procedure rooms: check and organize supplies, verify equipment functionality (C-arm integration, RF generators, injection systems), and assist with patient positioning/prepping as directed. Assist with post-procedure cleanup, instrument processing, and room turnover to support high daily case volumes. Collaborate closely with the circulating RN to facilitate smooth handoffs and procedural flow. Document relevant intraoperative details (e.g., implants used, counts) in compliance with ASC policies, AAAHC/CMS standards, and Arizona regulations. Participate in quality assurance, inventory management, and emergency preparedness for sedation-related or procedural complications. Stay current on pain management-specific techniques, equipment, and best practices in an outpatient setting.

Strong knowledge of aseptic technique, instrument sterilization/processing, and OR/procedure room safety protocols in outpatient environments. Excellent attention to detail, dexterity, and ability to anticipate needs in a fast-paced setting. Ability to work collaboratively in a small, team-oriented ASC with high case throughput. Preferred Qualifications Familiarity with fluoroscopy-guided pain procedures and equipment (C-arm, contrast handling, RF systems).
