Thanks for allowing me to use my right of freedom to submit my comments.

I'm a foreign surgeon graduated from one of the top inveterate ,deep-rooted medical school ( overseas, outside USA ). Once it come to the skills , My university didn't play around , so I got the highest quality of training since I graduated on 1995. It's 20 years of top notch experience And although I specialized in OB/GYN , but I've a lot of experiences in any operation of the human body from head to toe.

When I came to USA , I thought to invest my skills and grow it up . I found ABSA is the most appropriate professional organization because it includes in their members most of the highly trained foreign Surgeons who graduated from very well known medical schools all over the world.

ABSA actually have a lot of regulations for renewal of the certification which is the prove that all their members get the credentials required by ABSA and review carefully before issuing the new certification.

I can think for one unprofessional act from the other competitors , it's THE JEALOUSY from the steady successful organization ABSA , you know why, simply because of the highly qualified trained foreign surgeons who work at the top notch hospitals at the metro area which allow them Not only to work in Virginia but also extends their surfaces to MD & DC. ABSA members are usually recommended by the surgeons because the USA surgeons feel more secure and flexibly operating with the Surgeon Assistants who are foreign Surgeons.

What makes the state of TX or IL better than VA for approving ABSA Recognition  in Virginia. We have tremendous amount of SAFE cases in ALL the facilities of VA every year with high satisfaction from the patients, the surgeons and the hospital administrations.

FINALLY, ABSA MEMBERS ARE MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE INSIDE THE OPERATING ROOM BECAUSE OF THEIR TOP NOTCH SKILLS. THEY CAN TRANSFER THE VERY CRITICAL & ALMOST DEADLY OPERATIONS TO ANOTHER LEVEL OF SMOOTH OPERATION AND LIFE SAVING.
