Surgical Techs have the unique opportunity to interact with patients prior to (pre), during (intra), and after (post) surgical procedures. The role of a surgical technician is to prepare operating rooms, arrange equipment, prepare patients, and help doctors during surgeries. Before surgery, a technician will prepare patients for surgery and assemble necessary surgical equipment. During, they provide instruments and supplies to the surgeon while maintaining asepsis. After, they transport patients to recovery, and restock the OR. The Surgical Technologist program provides students with immersive and virtual hands-on learning experiences that allow for demonstration of key clinical skills. Surgical procedures are demonstrated using virtual tools or live-recorded video and are simulated – allowing the student to immerse him/herself into a virtual experience that is engaging, safe, and repeatable. This program prepares students to become Tech in Surgery – Certified (TS-C) by the National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT). Professionals who earn the TS-C designation have the clinical skills and knowledge for maintaining asepsis during surgery, anticipating the surgeon’s needs, and remaining attentive to all aspects of the surgical procedure to ensure a safe environment for the patient.
