WHAT DOES A SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIST DO?

Surgical Technologists, also called Operating Room Technicians, work alongside, and assist surgeons, nurses, and other members of the health care team throughout a surgical operation. This high-earning job is a great opportunity to enter the healthcare industry and work in a fast-paced, stimulating environment. But, this role is not for the faint of heart. Surgical Techs are exposed to intense sights, smells and sounds, and must remain calm in high-stress, life-or-death scenarios. Individuals interested in this program must be prepared to work in these non-traditional environments. The MedCerts Surgical Technologist program provides students with immersive and virtual hands-on learning experiences. 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 NCCT 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.

Where Does A Surgical Technologist Work?

Surgical technologists typically work in operating rooms within hospitals, outpatient care centers, and offices of physicians where surgical procedures are performed.

Requirements

Program applicants must meet ONE of the following requirements:

Associate’s degree, or higher
Enrolled in college/university-level degree program related to medical field
Hold current certification in Sterile Processing, or related field
Min. two (2) yrs related experience:

  clinical/medical/healthcare environment. Direct patient care experience
  required.
Employer Sponsorship
- Sponsorship Acknowledgement form signed by prospective employer agreeing to host graduate for post-program surgical cases (scrubs) as full-time/part-time employee, extern, or apprentice – required to attain TS-C certification.
Students must already have a site secured for clinicals – start date is contingent on student having paperwork filled out and signed off by the clinical site – if they do not have the paperwork signed off on and a secured clinical site, student’s enrollment will be cancelled and will have to enroll in a different program.

FAQ

What does a Surgical Technologist do?

The role of a Surgical Technologist is to prepare operating rooms, arrange equipment, prepare patients, and assist doctors during surgeries. They have the unique opportunity to interact with patients prior to (pre), during (intra), and after (post) surgical procedures. Before surgery, techs assemble the necessary surgical equipment and ensure all devices are in working order. Techs prepare patients for surgery by positioning, draping, washing and disinfecting the incision site. During an operation, they will pass sterile instruments and supplies to surgeons. They maintain asepsis during surgery, anticipating the surgeon’s needs while remaining attentive to all aspects of the surgical procedure to ensure a safe environment for the patient. They might hold retractors or set up robotic surgical equipment. After surgery, techs often dress the incision site, transport patients to their recovery rooms, and restock the operating room with supplies and equipment.

Are these courses college credit?

No, this program does not count for college credit.

Is the Surgical Technologist certificate program online?

Yes, our program is fully online and asynchronous.
