About The Surgical Technology Program In Tucson

Considering a career in healthcare? Surgical Technology offers a unique blend of experiences and responsibilities that distinguish them from other healthcare roles. Furthermore, you can start this rewarding journey without committing to a lengthy four-year college degree. The Surgical Technology program in Tucson, Arizona, empowers you to earn your associate degree in under two years.

Surgical Technologists, commonly referred to as Scrub Techs, are the unsung heroes of the operating room. They ensure that surgeries are conducted efficiently and safely. As critical members of the surgical team, they handle everything from preparing patients and sterilizing equipment to managing the flow of surgical instruments during a procedure. Before an operation, the Scrub Techs ensure the entire surgical team is primed, prepared, and “scrubbed in.”

The real essence of our program goes beyond traditional classroom learning. In the supervised externship, you’ll immerse yourself in hands-on experiences alongside seasoned professionals. This is where you’ll truly understand the depth and importance of a Surgical Technologist’s responsibilities.

What You’ll Learn

The Tucson Surgical Technology program will grant you the requisite knowledge and skills to become an essential member of the surgical team within a hospital or trauma-care facility. Through our accredited Surgical Technology training program, not only will you learn how to perform the various functions of a Surgical Technologist, but you will also develop a foundational understanding of several healthcare topics, including hospital organization, safety, legal issues, anatomy, physiology, aseptic technique, and surgical procedures.

You will gain hands-on instruction from our experienced faculty within our modern simulation labs using the latest surgical technology and equipment.

However, the most effective way to prepare yourself for the operating room is to practice. That’s why our Scrub Tech program also includes a supervised externship where you will experience the Surgical Tech profession firsthand. Upon graduation, students will have the necessary skills for entry-level employment in the field. In order to graduate from the Surgical Technology program, students must take an examination by a nationally recognized and accredited credentialing agency.  The College assists students in taking this examination during the program’s Externship course.
