My surgical tech program

As of this post, I’m in my second term of an accelerated surgical tech degree program. My program is 15 months start to finish and consists of six, ten-week terms, and the last two terms are our clinicals. Here’s a quick break down of each term:

• Term 1:
  1. Surgical Technology Theory I
  2. Surgical Technology Lab I
  3. Foundations for Health Professionals (online)
  4. Anatomy and Physiology I
  5. English Composition I (online)
• Term 2:
  1. Surgical Technology Theory II
  2. Surgical Technology Lab II
  3. Anatomy and Physiology II
  4. Contemporary Topics in Mathematics (online)
• Term 3:
  1. Surgical Technology Theory III
  2. Surgical Technology Lab III
  3. Surgical Technology Theory IV
  4. Surgical Technology Lab IV
  5. Elements of Human Communications (online)
• Term 4:
  1. Surgical Procedures I
  2. Surgical Procedures II
  3. Surgical Technology Lab V
  4. Surgical Technology Lab VI
  5. Human Growth and Development (online)
• Term 5:
  1. Surgical Technology Clinical I
  2. Surgical Technology Clinical Review I
• Term 6:
  1. Surgical Technology Clinical II
  2. Surgical Technology Clinical Review II

As you can see, most terms are pretty jam-packed with classes. My cohort began with 12 students and as of term 2, we have 10 students in total. I really love how small my class is, I feel like we get a lot of great individual attention.

My cohort is actually the first degree program at my school, but so far it’s been a great experience. I’ll get more in depth about my classes in a separate post, but I wanted to fill you guys in on the structure of my ST program!

Talk to you later!
