Dr. Minoshima has accepted a faculty position at the University of Washington, Seattle. In affiliation with Baker College, the UMHS Operating Rooms seek interested applicants for a Surgical Technologist Program. This program is designed at the Associate Degree level to build or promote educational degrees and career opportunities. 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 to ensure the operating room environment is safe, equipment functions properly, and the operative procedure is conducted under conditions that maximize patient safety.
Surgical technologists are the surgical team's experts in aseptic technique.
A technologist anticipates the needs of the surgeon and handles instruments, supplies, and equipment utilized during the surgical procedure. The program provides students with the opportunity to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to become employed as a surgical technologist and a contributing member of the health care team. Please contact Kathy Lanava or Catherine Crane at 936-7079 for more information. High School and college transcripts must be received by Sept. 8.
