Combining convenient online instruction, laboratory simulations, and supervised clinical practice, the YVC Surgical Technology Program prepares students for a career as a surgical technologist. Instruction includes core courses essential to health care professionals as well as specialty courses in surgical technology. A simulation of a surgical suite in the allied health laboratory allows for hands-on practice of essential psychomotor skills. Clinical practice in hospitals, surgical processing services, and operating rooms provide actual experiences to prepare students for entry-level positions in hospital operating rooms and freestanding surgical centers.

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
