Associate of Applied Science Degree in Physician's Surgical Assistant Physician's surgical assisting is a comparatively new field and there are not enough physician's surgical assistants to meet the demands of the hospitals. The physician's surgical assistant works in the hospital operating room directly under the supervision of a surgeon and performs many of the duties customarily done by interns and residents. Career opportunities are excellent because of the rapidly decreasing supply of interns and residents, and the salary scale has been steadily climbing.
