ABOUT ISAA
The Illinois Surgical Assistant Association (ISAA) was formed in 1998 for surgical assistants to have a voice at the state government level. However, since that time, ISAA has grown to become a source for surgical assistants looking for certifying and/or State registration information and networking opportunities.
CONTINUING EDUCATIONS WORKSHOPS
The Illinois Surgical Assistant Association hosts two Continuing Education Workshops every Spring and Fall which provide an opportunity for ISAA members to earn CE credits at a discounted rate and network with their colleagues. Future dates for 2023 will be announced soon.
