The following information will highlight the profession of surgical technology, the application process for the program, class schedules, tuition and financial aid. Surgical technologists are allied health professionals who work in the surgical suite delivering surgical patient care. They function under the supervision of a registered nurse and surgeon in the operating room.
Surgical technologists are a valued member of the operating room team.
Upon completion of this program graduates will be able to take positions as surgical technologists in hospitals and other surgical settings providing services for general and specialty surgery. There is a critical shortage of surgical technologists in the greater Richmond area making the market for jobs excellent. Graduates of this program should have several offers for employment. The program is designed to provide students with flexible hours so they get the maximum educational experience and still have time for other responsibilities. We will be attempting to schedule both a day and evening section for each year.
