Program Description Surgical technologists work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, registered nurses and other surgical personnel delivering patient care and assuming appropriate responsibilities before, during, and after surgery. This program provides the student with instruction, laboratory practice, and clinical rotations in preparation to entering the workforce as a Surgical Technologist. The student may choose to pursue either the Certificate of Achievement or an Associate of Applied Science in Surgical Technology. Graduates of this accredited program are eligible to test for the Certified Surgical Technologist credentials.
Where Do I Start? There are two (2) degree options:
  Associate of Applied Science
  Certificate of Achievement
What To Expect Students will complete classroom and skills lab instruction. The first clinical rotation will place the student in ancillary and support roles in the surgical suite. The second and third clinical rotations will include major hospitals, level 1 trauma, and surgical centers where the student will complete cases in all surgical specialties. This is a full time twelve month program starting in August.
