Surgical Technology, Degree (ST13) Degree
Curriculum Update
Required Prerequisites
The surgical technology degree program prepares entry-level surgical technologists who are competent in cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains to enter the profession. The program provides learning opportunities that introduce, develop, and reinforce academic and technical knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement in surgical technology. In addition, the program provides opportunities to upgrade present knowledge and skills or to retrain in surgical technology. Graduates of the program receive a surgical technology associate of applied science degree and are qualified for employment as a surgical technologist, as well as eligible to sit for the Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) examination through the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA).
Curriculum: Upon completion of the program, students will demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. They will exhibit proficiency in both theory and application of sterile and aseptic techniques. Students will perform competently in pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative duties, showcasing their ability to function effectively as integral members of operating room teams.
