The Surgical Technology program prepares you to work in the exciting world of the operating room. As technology changes, operating rooms are always in need of well-trained surgical technologists who are willing to continue the learning process throughout their lives.
The Surgical Technology program is an eleven-month certificate program, in which students will take the National Certification test as a pre-graduate.
Students will learn the principles of aseptic technique, scrubbing, gowning, gloving, positioning, prepping, draping, instrumentation, back table set-up, sterilization, disinfection, vital signs, Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Terminology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Theory (Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist).
Upon completion of the program, the student will sit for their national certification through the NBSTSA
(National Board of Surgical Technology Surgical Assisting) as well as the NCCT (National Competency Center for Testing).
