DESCRIPTION
|
|
The Surgical Technologist program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills for facilitating the safe and effective conduct of invasive surgical procedures, ensuring that the operating room environment is safe, that equipment functions properly, and that the operative procedure is conducted under conditions that maximize patient safety. Students will also explore the theory and application of sterile and aseptic technique and combine the knowledge of human anatomy, surgical procedures, and implementation of instrumentation and technologies to facilitate a physician’s performance of invasive therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. The program includes instruction in anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, microbiology, medical terminology, basics of scrubbing, aseptic technique, instrumentation, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. Once students understand the basic concepts and skills, they will utilize what they have learned at a clinical site.
