Surgical technologists or technicians are members of the surgical team during medical operations. They help prepare the operating room, check and/or assemble equipment, assist the surgeon during the operation, transfer patients to their rooms and clean the operating room. At SPC, surgical technology students get hands-on experience in an operating room lab. They are prepared with the skills needed to directly enter the workforce. Career options include certified surgical technologists in hospital operating rooms, delivery rooms, ambulatory care centers, physician offices and central sterilizing departments. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the National Certifying Examination for Surgical Technologists to become a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST). The exam is administered by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA). Upon successful completion of the exam, the NBSTSA awards a certificate recognizing the individual as nationally certified.

Surgical technologists or technicians are members of the surgical team during medical operations. They help prepare the operating room, check and/or assemble equipment, assist the surgeon during the operation, transfer patients to their rooms and clean the operating room. At SPC, surgical technology students get hands-on experience in an operating room lab. They are prepared with the skills needed to directly enter the workforce. Career options include certified surgical technologists in hospital operating rooms, delivery rooms, ambulatory care centers, physician offices and central sterilizing departments. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the National Certifying Examination for Surgical Technologists to become a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST). The exam is administered by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA). Upon successful completion of the exam, the NBSTSA awards a certificate recognizing the individual as nationally certified.
