Graduates of SJVC’s Surgical Technology program are eligible to sit for the Certified Surgical Technologist National Certification Exam. SJVC prepares students to take appropriate certification and licensure exams related to their individual majors. The College does not guarantee students will successfully pass these exams or be certified or licensed as a result of completing the program. Those in this role, who are sometimes called operating room technicians, often work in hospitals and surgical centers. They have a broad knowledge base in surgical therapies and the ability to adapt to new technologies.
