Help save lives - Earn a Surgical Technology degree in San Jose, CA

Surgical Technologists are important members of a surgery team; they may work in hospital operating rooms, delivery rooms, emergency rooms, or ambulatory care areas. Before a surgical procedure they prepare patients by readying incision sites, they help prepare the operating room with sterile equipment, and they help the surgical team put on their sterile gowns and gloves. During surgery, they hand instruments and supplies to surgeons and surgical assistants, and help prepare specimens for lab analysis. 

Surgical Technologists need to be highly trained and very competent because of the environment they work in.
