About
The Surgical Technology Program trains individuals to prepare the operating room, select and care for instruments, provide technical assistance to the surgeon and nursing team during surgery, and break down the room after surgery. The program consists of four months of concentrated theory and lab practice, two months of integrated theory and clinical preparation, and six months of clinical practice.
The Surgical Technology Program prepares qualified, motivated students with a learning opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to gain employment as a Certified Surgical Technologist and become an integral part of the health care team. This will be accomplished by preparing competent entry-level Surgical Technologists in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains; and by meeting or exceeding the criteria set forth in the current Core Curriculum for Surgical Technology by the Association of Surgical Technologists (AST), 7th edition.
