The students currently in the Surgical Technology course have gained an overview of surgical technology, learned the profession’s origins, the surgical technologist’s duties in preparing the sterile field and supporting the surgical team, and basic aseptic technique to prevent infection. They reviewed the roles of OR team members, the typical operating room workflow, professional standards, education and certification pathways, and the importance of ongoing skill development. The students will participate in the upcoming MCC- Health Science Institute Career Expo on February 25th.
