About Surgical Technology Courses – “Programs can take up to two years to complete depending on the type and number of classes you decide to enroll in. Most programs provide the ability to earn an associate’s degree alongside your surgical technician certificate. Schools also require that potential candidates have previously received a high school diploma or its equivalent before the application can be processed.”[ref]

What Do Surgical Tech’s Do? – “Surgical technologists work in the operating room – manipulating and operating the sterilizers, lights, suction machines and diagnostic equipment… Providing the doctors and surgical team with all they need like sterile instruments, gowns, and gloves.”[ref]
