Changing Lives Making Indiana Great.
A career in Surgical Technology is very fast-paced and challenging. You may be able to hold a beating heart in your hand. You may be part of a team in the OR that works on replacing a total hip or knee in the orthopedic rotation at your site. You will certainly hand many different instruments to the surgeon in the correct fashion and at the correct time. You will be the keeper of the sterile field. This is a very rewarding career in the Health Science Field. It is not nursing; you do a very specific technical job and work under the RN and Surgeon.
The Surgical Technology program is a selective program. When you apply to the college, you will be accepted into the undeclared program while you complete the prerequisite requirements. The surgical technology program accepts a limited number of students each year and there is a separate application process. Contact your campus of interest below for more details.
The Surgical Technology program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Allied Health Education Program (CAAHEP), in collaboration with the Accreditation Review Council on Education in Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (ARC/STSA).
