SURGICAL TECHNICIAN PROGRAM No Tuition Required
The goal of the Surgical Technician Program is to graduate qualified students with the knowledge
and confidence to function independently and safely in a surgical operating room or similar,
sterile environment. Participants must be dedicated to the program to learn all the skills and
techniques required to become a Certified Surgical Technologist. Admission into the 2019
Surgical Technician Program is open to 10 applicants who meet the program criteria and
eligibility. This one-year program, beginning on January 22, 2019, requires students to attend
all classes and labs. In addition, the program will require 120 clinical scrub-ins at an offsite
hospital and/or surgical center. Participants will be required to provide their own transportation
to and from the clinical site. The coursework for this program requires a full commitment from
the student. Studying, classroom learning, labs and clinical rotations will be very intense and
time consuming. This program must be a priority for a successful outcome. It is expected that
all assignments will be completed on time and all classes, labs, and rotations will be attended.
Surgical Technology is a career that can be very rewarding, however, it requires full dedication.
The effort put into this program will directly affect the outcome.
