Surgical technologist training gives students the confidence and skills required to work in a fast-paced, oftentimes life-and-death environment. As a surgical technologist you'll be able to assist in specialties such as cardiology, obstetrics, neurosurgery, and more. You'll be responsible for supplying surgical instruments and sterile supplies to surgeons and ensuring a sterile field in the surgical suite. Although you will not be cutting and sewing the patient, you will still be responsible for that patient's care.
