Surgical Technology - Associate in Science and Certificate Tracks

The Surgical Technology tracks are offered through the Clearfield Campus. Working in the operating room is fast-paced and exciting. Surgical Technologists are members of the sterile surgical team who prepare and maintain the sterile field during a surgical procedure. Surgical Technology is listed as one of the top healthcare areas for growth and demand during the next ten years.

The need for Certified Surgical Technologists far exceeds the supply, as the Operating Room continues to develop and use cutting-edge technology to improve the surgical outcome for our patients.

The program is available as a 24-month Associate in Science degree or 12 month certificate option in Surgical Technology. Both options are also available as distance education offerings, but do require a limited period of residency on campus. Graduates of this CAAHEP accredited program are eligible to take the NBSTSA ® National Certification Exam in Surgical Technology to become a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST).
