National Surgical Assistant Association (NSAA) is a professional membership organization dedicated to supporting physician extenders who specialize in surgical assisting. It aims to improve patient care by providing professional development opportunities for non-physician surgical assistants through continuing education, certification, networking, publications, and peer collaboration. Based in Washington, District of Columbia, the organization operates within the medical practices sector as a small professional association. In recent years, NSAA has engaged in collaborations to expand education and credentialing resources, such as a 2016 partnership with Magnifi Group to offer accredited online continuing education for Certified Surgical Assistants, and a 2015 initiative to launch the National Registry of Surgical Assistants website in conjunction with the Association of Surgical Assistants. The association's activities focus on training, certification support, and opportunities for professional interaction among CSAs and other allied health professionals who work alongside surgeons.
