The Surgical Technologist associate degree program may train dedicated students in operating and laboratory procedures to enable them to become qualified assistants for surgeons in the operating room. Motivated students will also work hard to study anatomy and physiology of the human body, sterilization and setup of instruments, application of surgical dressings as well as the preparation and aftercare of patients. Eager and successful learners will take time to gain valuable experience if they complete an externship in a medical facility.
