Surgical Technology Program

The primary functions of a surgical technologist are to assist the surgeon and operating team, maintain the sterile field, and pass instruments. A surgical technologist can work in a hospital, outpatient surgery, private scrub for surgeons, or private companies. 

Additional program requirements include passing a random drug test, completing a physical exam with a record of required immunizations before assignment to clinical sites, and the ability to withstand the physical rigors of the program. A fair but strict attendance policy is enforced.

  • Anatomy and Physiology I
