The Surgical Technology Program provides instruction to prepare graduates for entry level positions in surgical technology. Courses allow students to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to function in the surgical suite and deliver competent care to patients. Surgical technologists are responsible for preparing supplies and equipment for surgical procedures, assisting surgeons during operative procedures by passing instruments, ensuring that equipment functions properly and that the operative procedure is conducted under conditions that maximize patient safety.
Successful completion of this program results in the student earning an associate degree and allows graduates to take the National Certified Surgical Technologist Exam.
The Surgical Technology Program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review Council on Education in Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (ARC/STSA), and the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
