7 courses with the subject SUR, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
SUR 1100Fundamentals of Surgical Technology6
Students are introduced to the role and responsibilities of the surgical technologist, the healthcare team, and the clinical environment. Topics include environment and workplace safety, patient care and safety, age-extreme patients, and patients with special needs. Students learn the basic techniques for scrubbing, gowning, and gloving. An on-campus operating room laboratory provides students with such hands-on experience as vital signs, patient transporting, and positioning.
SUR 2100Surgical Technology Application and Practice2
This intensive course is designed to prepare students for success in the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) certification examination. Aspiring surgical technologists will engage in comprehensive review sessions covering key topics and concepts essential for passing the exam with confidence. 337

SUR 2292Surgical Technology Capstone4
Designed to elicit reflection and application to the whole of the Surgical Technology program. The course requires the student to apply the knowledge, skills, and techniques attained throughout the Surgical Technology program. The capstone course provides an opportunity for the assessment of surgical technologist critical thinking skills and teamwork skills through case studies that present experiences often encountered in the surgical technologist’s workplace. The course reinforces the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to sit for the national credentialing exam; and stresses entry-level job requirements and upward career paths, resume writing skills, interviewing techniques, and networking. 452
