Surgical Technologist

Diploma Program

Surgical technologists are part of the operating room (OR) support team and have vital responsibilities before, during, and after surgery. They prepare the OR, ensuring that instruments have been properly sterilized and in the proper place on surgery trays; hand instruments to team members during surgery and receive them back; and clean and disinfect the OR after surgery.

Hands-on Surgical Technologist Training Environment

The Bryman School of Arizona offers a Surgical Technologist Diploma in a hands-on environment that prepares students to compete for entry-level positions with hospitals or surgical centers.

Our students study general, specialty, orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery. They learn about infection control, instrumentation, positioning during surgery and surgical supplies. They discuss life and death in the OR and the challenges they will face during surgery. Other courses cover anesthesia, pharmacology and ethics.

After successfully completing all coursework, students enroll in an externship with a hospital, surgical center, or physician office where they participate in surgeries to test and further develop professional skills. Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT) Certification Examination, TS-C Tech in Surgery Certified.

We care about our students and want to provide an educational experience that supports their personal and academic goals. We offer:

• Real-world training labs where students can develop and practice their skills
• Supportive community environment
• Student services that help students stay and succeed in school
• Academic advising, tutoring and study groups set up by our dedicated Education Department
• Refresher training at no cost for graduates; read about one graduate who re-discovered his surgical tech skills through re-training at Bryman
