The program goal meets or exceeds the criteria set forth in the current Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) Standards and Guidelines for the Accreditation of Educational Programs in Surgical Technology.\r\nThe consortium agreement, between the CT State Community College Manchester Campus (MC) and Hartford Hospital, was developed in response to both a community and workforce need in Connecticut for surgical technologists. A consortium agreement is unique as it mandates the separation of curriculum with General Education Core course education and Core ST curriculum courses as required by ARC/STSA accreditation standards and guidelines. This consortium supports the Association of Surgical Technologist (AST) statements on the Associate Degree model for entry-level Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) with first year prerequisite courses taken prior to acceptance into the ST program. This includes the CT State Community College General Education component as well as science courses, including Anatomy and Physiology I and II, as baseline knowledge recommended by the AST Surgical Technology curriculum. AST's statement... \"Logically, this prerequisite year could be developed into a sequence of courses that provide foundational preparation for sophomore surgical technology courses and comprehensive coverage of each state's general education requirements\" ...aligns with the MC Hartford Hospital ST Program curriculum sequencing. This consortium agreement denotes separate and shared responsibilities for both entities involved in the education of surgical technology students. General education core courses instruction is the sole responsibility of CT State Community College faculty and core ST curriculum course instruction is provided on the Hartford Hospital campus and is the sole responsibility of Hartford Hospital qualified Surgical Technology Instructors. CT State Community College provides academic support services i.e., admission, financial aid, transcript evaluation and grants the AS degree. Hartford Hospital provides and supports all surgical technology student lab spaces, lab materials and lab instruction with all ST instructors and the consortium director being Hartford Hospital employees as per the consortium agreement. ST students perform clinical rotations throughout the Hartford Healthcare System (HHC) in the state of Connecticut.\r\nThe Surgical Technology Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon the recommendation of the Accreditation Review Council on Education in Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (ARC/STSA).
