1.00 Credits
To prepare competent entry-level surgical technologists in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains. Course discusses in depth the concepts around the following areas as it relates to the Surgical Technologists role. In this interactive course the learner will focus on the patient and the surgical technologist in the operating room as it relates to safety, fire risk, positioning, prepping, patient transfer. Introduces to the learner concepts around safety, of self and also for the patient. Theory and physics around the safe use of electro cautery, lasers, and microscopes and robotics in the operating room. The learner will also be introduced to a wide variety of supplies, their safe and proper use in the operating room, such as suture, dressings, drains, and catheters. The learner will also explore the concepts around wound healing as it relates to the surgical patient. Surgical prepping, safety protocols, technique and theory will be explored.

3.00 Credits
To prepare competent entry-level surgical technologists in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains. This course reviews the pertinent anatomy and physiology related to the following surgical systems/specialties. General surgery, OBGYN, orthopedics, ear nose and throat (ENT), ophthalmic, neurology, spinal procedures, cardio thoracic, peripheral vascular, urology, maxillofacial, head and neck, plastics, geriatrics, trauma (pediatrics and adult), robotics and laser. Conditions that warrant surgical correction are discussed and studied in depth. Also introduced are common specialized instrumentation by type, function, and name. Common procedures in each of the surgical specialty areas are explained in depth; to include indication, anatomy involved, incision(s), patient positioning, prepping, draping, dressings and suture used in such cases. (Prerequisite(s): BIOL 2722, SURG 1405, SURG 1410, and SURG 1415) 3C/1/2/0

4.00 Credits
Learners will practice the concepts and theories learned in 2410 Pathology and Procedures and 2405 Pharmacology. Basic skill sets will be put into practice for scrub gown and gloving (both open and closed), draping of the surgical patient, as well as set up appropriate instrumentation on back-table and mayo stand for general surgery abdominal cases. Focus will be on use of correct sterile technique, surgical consciousness, and communication by way of working within a team in the surgical environment. Learner will be able to practice passing instruments, load surgical blades and needles, and properly change contaminated gown and gloves. A focus will be made around labeling drugs properly that will be used in the sterile field. (Prerequisites: SURG 1405, 1410, and 1415) 4C/0/4/0

4.00 Credits
Learners will directly build on skill sets learned in SURG 2415, as they bring in more complex procedures to their training, from the curriculum in SURG 2410, these are then practiced directly in the lab session. The procedures will require new skill sets in the areas of draping, specialty equipment, instruments, and team communication. (Prerequisites: SURG 1405, 1410, and 1415) 4C/0/4/0

8.00 Credits
Students are assigned to a pre-planned clinical facility and assist with surgical procedures within the operative setting under the personal supervision of a clinical preceptor. This clinical practicum is designed for the student to integrate knowledge and theory from previous classes specific to Surgical technology, to develop skill set specific to that of a practicing Surgical Technologist. Clinical assignments are based on a set of weekly clinical performance objectives that must be met prior to the completion of OR lab 2. Students will participate in 3 clinical conferences to debrief current learning and synthesize knowledge with practice. Also covered in these sessions are professional topics such as understanding the roles, responsibilities and variety of personalities that comprise OR settings, the development of a resume, cover letter, thank you letter, and the development of answers to commonly asked interview questions. Students will complete practice exams to prepare for the National Certification Exam administered by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting. Participation in the Certification exam is MANDATORY. (Prerequisite(s): SURG 2405, 2411, 2415, and 2420) 8C/0/8/0
