The Surgical Technologist Training Program offers comprehensive education and hands-on
training for individuals aspiring to enter the dynamic field of surgical technology.
This program provides students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience
necessary to assist surgeons and other healthcare professionals in the operating room.
Key components of the course include:
- Anatomy and Physiology: Students will gain a deep understanding of human anatomy and
physiology, with a focus on the structures and functions relevant to surgical procedures.
- Surgical Procedures: The course covers a wide range of surgical procedures, including
general surgery, orthopedic surgery, gynecological surgery, neurosurgery, and more.
Students will learn about the equipment, instruments, and techniques used in each
type of surgery.
- Sterilization and Infection Control: Proper sterilization techniques and infection
control protocols are essential in maintaining a safe surgical environment. Students
will learn how to sterilize surgical instruments, maintain a sterile field, and prevent
the spread of infection.
- Surgical Instrumentation: Students will become familiar with a variety of surgical
instruments and their uses. They will learn how to properly handle and pass instruments
to surgeons during procedures.
- Patient Care: Surgical technologists play a crucial role in patient care before, during,
and after surgery. Students will learn how to prepare patients for surgery, assist
with positioning and draping, and provide post-operative care.
- Operating Room Procedures: The course covers operating room protocols and procedures,
including safety practices, emergency protocols, and teamwork dynamics.
- Medical Ethics and Legal Considerations: Students will explore ethical issues related
to surgical technology practice, as well as legal considerations such as patient confidentiality
and informed consent.
- Clinical Practicum: Hands-on clinical experience is an integral part of the program.
Students will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world
healthcare settings under the supervision of experienced surgical technologists and
healthcare professionals.
Upon successful completion of the Surgical Technologist Training Program, students
will be prepared to sit for the national certification exam to become certified surgical
technologists (CSTs). Graduates of the program will be equipped with the skills and
expertise needed to pursue rewarding careers in hospitals, surgical centers, and other
healthcare facilities.
