Scrub surgical technologists prepare the surgical environment by selecting and assembling sterile supplies and equipment, preparing and maintaining the sterile field through- out surgery, and anticipating the needs of the surgical team by passing instruments and sterile items in an efficient manner. Surgical technologists are employed in hospital-based operating room settings, outpatient surgical centers, maternity units, emergency rooms, central sterile reprocessing units and in the medical sales field.\n \n McCann's program includes components of the basic sciences, operating room practices and procedures, safe patient care, operating room technique, surgical procedures and clinical practice. This will be accomplished by preparing competent graduates in the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains of learning and meeting or exceeding the criteria set forth in the current Standards and Guidelines for an accredited program in surgical technology.\n \n Established in 1963, the McCann surgical technology program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Accreditation Review Council on Education and Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (www.arcst.org). McCann graduates are eligible to sit for the national board exam given by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (www.nbstsa.org). In 1990, the Association of Surgical Technologists, Inc., declared the associate degree to be the preferred educational model for entry level practice.\n \n Students enrolled in the McCann program may begin to take BCC courses concurrent with their surgical technology course- work and then continue as full- or part-time students to complete required BCC courses for the associate degree. Other students may wish to pursue some or all of the associate degree requirements at BCC before applying to McCann for the surgical technology program. Previous graduates of the McCann program are encouraged to contact BCC for specific advising regarding the courses necessary to qualify for the associate degree."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:8932593a-fc20-47bd-b3b3-f408158c3d24"],"ceterms:industryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Health"}}],"ceterms:estimatedCost":[{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:currency":"US Dollar","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.berkshirecc.edu/admission-and-aid/tuition-and-fees/index.php","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"Enrolling at BCC isn't just a wise academic decision; it's also a smart financial move.
