The Constellation Awards, presented by the Foundation for Surgical Technology, celebrate the educators who shape and inspire the next generation of surgical technologists. These awards recognize excellence at three stages: rising stars, guiding stars, and veteran stars.

Surgical technologist educators don’t just teach skills, they build confidence, sharpen critical thinking, and guide future CSTs toward excellence in the OR.

Each award, valued at $1,000, will include a registration for the AST Educators Conference in February and monetary support. Nominate yourself or someone else by December 1. Apply at http://ffst.org/scholarships/constellation-awards/

Behind every successful surgery is a focused, dedicated CST, and even the strongest techs need to recharge. Mental health in the OR matters just as much as precision and teamwork.

Pause. Breathe. Check in with yourself and your team. Taking care of your mind is part of taking care of your patients.
