Surgical Tech Cover Letter Example

At Pine Summit Medical Center I scrub 550 to 600 cases a year across a 14-suite operating room, with primary assignment to total joint, spine and sports medicine services. I'm applying for the surgical tech opening at [Hospital name] because I want that same specialty scrub assignment at a hospital growing its robotic surgery program, since that's the direction most high-volume ORs are already headed.

I hold a zero-discrepancy instrument, sharps and sponge count record verified through the hospital's counting-policy audits, and I anticipate instrumentation for 11 orthopedic surgeons so closely that a preference-card cleanup project I led cut mid-case instrument requests 35%. I serve on the robotics team for 20 Mako and da Vinci cases a month, handling docking, draping and instrument exchange.

I hold my Certified Surgical Technologist credential through the NBSTSA and current BLS certification, and I've cross-trained five new techs and three travelers on service-specific setups, releasing all of them to solo scrubbing ahead of schedule. I'd rather spend an extra five minutes confirming a count than start closing on a hope that it's right.

I'd welcome a conversation about your case mix and robotics program at [Hospital name]. Thank you for your time, and I'm glad to bring my count-accuracy record and robotics experience to a first conversation.
