Change your life by earning great pay and benefits!
Surgical Technologists, also referred to as OR techs, have the knowledge and skills needed to function as a member of the surgical team, delivering patient care and assuming appropriate responsibilities before, during, and after surgery.
Instruction is provided in principles of aseptic techniques, patient care, supplies and equipment, basic sciences and professional preparation.
In the operating room (OR) surgical techs prepare patients for surgery, set up surgical instruments/equipment, pass sterile supplies/instruments to surgeons, and ensure the integrity of the sterile field throughout the procedure.
Outside the OR you may manage central supply departments, evaluate products, or go into medical sales.
All applicants are required to attend Behind Surgery Doors, an information session with the instructor, in the Surgical Technology Classroom.
Surg Tech schools have a competitive admission process. Taking Medical Terminology will add points to your applications and increase your overall score.

Joint Preceptorship
Central Technology Center (CT) and Stillwater Medical Center (SMC) are piloting a joint preceptorship program for Surgical Technology. Each week a SMC preceptor comes to CT and trains Surg Tech students in their classroom setting. This great partnership between the school and the hospital allows Surg Tech students to learn from industry technicians before clinical training. Administrators from both programs collaborate on training styles and skills needed before joining the workforce. In the end, SMC hires CT graduates prepared for the workforce – just as SMC sees fit.
Vaccinations
Although Central Tech does not mandate students receive the Covid vaccine, area hospitals where students must complete clinical hours to successfully graduate and sit for the Technician in Surgery Certified (TS-C) do require the vaccine. Without completed vaccination records, graduates are unable to obtain employment in this field.
