Surgical Technology Certificate

The Surgical Technology Certificate Program is designed to provide you with the necessary skills and training to become certified and work as a Surgical Technologist in just 10 months.

Surgical Technologists are allied health professionals who work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, registered nurses and other surgical personnel in delivering optimal patient care. As vital members of the surgical team, job duties include preparing the operating room, securing supplies, setting up equipment and instruments, and anticipating the surgeon’s needs during the surgical procedure.

The Surgical Technology Program is a ten month, full-time course of study beginning in September each year. The 40-credit certificate program trains students to become entry-level Surgical Technologists and prepares them to sit for the certification exam given by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting. Upon successful completion of this exam, individuals are board certified and may use the credentials of Certified Surgical Technologist (CST). The Surgical Technology Program at Quincy College offers students three combined learning experiences (lecture, laboratory and clinical). Lecture topics come to life in our state-of-the-art laboratory. Laboratory skills transition to clinical skills during rotation at either a major Boston teaching facility or one of the leading community hospitals. During this program, students are required to scrub on a minimum of 125 surgical cases. Please note, acceptance to the program does not guarantee a clinical placement.

Upon completion of the program the student will be able to:

• Function as an entry level surgical technologist by using cognitive, psychomotor and affective learning domains.
• Be prepared to sit for the national certification examination sponsored by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting.
• Provide a safe and efficient environment while offering physical and emotional support for the surgical patient.
• Seek opportunities for continuing education.
