Skilled in the principles of asepsis and the practice of sterile technique, surgical technologists are on the frontlines in today’s optimal surgical environments. They are integral members of the surgical team who work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, registered nurses and other surgical personnel delivering patient care before, during and after surgery.
The goal of the Utah Tech University Surgical Technology program is to prepare competent entry-level surgical technologists in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains.
At the successful conclusion of this program, students will be able to:
Utah has no licensure requirement for surgical technologists, although six of the fifty states do. Unique requirements for surgical technology employment may be employer-specific; many hospitals and surgery centers do require certification for employment.
Utah Tech University Surgical Technology Program graduates are eligible to take the National Board Certifying Examination administered through the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) to become a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST). This certification is recognized in all fifty states.
