What courses will be included in surgical technologist programs?
Training through most surgical technologist schools will take as many as two years when pursing an associate’s level degree, or as few as nine months as is the case for certificate programs. These programs involve didactic classroom instruction, but the more crucial experiential component of these programs comes from clinical exposure. Didactic courses that are a standard part of these programs would include microbiology, pharmacology, medical terminology, professional ethics, physiology, and anatomy.
