BIO100, SRG115. Credit: 4 hours. This course is offered in a hybrid and/or online format. Fall.
SRG 115Fundamental Perioperative Techniques7
This course introduces students to the operating room environment. Fundamental perioperative techniques and skills will be discussed. Students are oriented to the surgical environment, professional job roles, and sterile technique. Students will develop basic knowledge of instrumentation, equipment, and supplies used in surgical technology. The clinical application of surgical asepsis and perioperative case management is developed through guided observation and interaction. The student will gain the knowledge of preparation of the surgical field and perioperative techniques. Corequisites: SRG111. hours. Fall.
This course provides theoretical principles for the successful preparation, performance, and completion of basic and intermediate surgical procedures. Emphasis is placed on related surgical anatomy, pathology, and procedures that enhance theoretical knowledge of perioperative patient care. Core and specialty surgical procedures related to general, OB/GYN, genitourinary, orthopedic, and ophthalmic surgical specialties are discussed. Also included are specialized surgical specialties related to ophthalmology, ororhonolaryngology, and mazillofacial procedures. Prerequisites: SRG111, SRG115.
SRG125. Credit: 4 hours. This course is offered in a hybrid and/or online format. Spring.
SRG 125Surgical Clinical I6
This course provides an in-depth study of clinical practices as they pertain to successful preparation, performance, and completion of core and specialty surgical procedures. Emphasis is placed on the safe use of instruments, equipment, and supplies in basic surgical preparation. This course provides operating room experience in affiliating medical centers under the supervision of the instructor and operating room nurse educator.
This course instructs the student in the principles and theoretical knowledge required to prepare and assist in procedures for otorhinolaryngology, oral, plastics and reconstructive surgery, neurological and cardiac/thoracic specialties. Areas such as burns and pathology as they apply to surgery are covered as well as the care of the surgical patient preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. and/or online format. Summer.
SRG121, SRG125. Corequisites: SRG135. Credit: 3 hours. This course is offered in a hybrid
SRG 135Surgical Clinical II3
This course provides operating room experience to enhance the student’s understanding of the principles and skills required to participate in surgical procedures. Focus is directed on independent role assumption and the ability to function as a member of the sterile surgical team during advanced surgical interventions.
This course provides the opportunity to continue mastering the continuity of care in the perioperative setting. Emphasis is placed on maintaining and enhancing acquired clinical skills in the perioperative process. The student will have opportunities to apply a mastery of surgical techniques in the role of the entry-level surgical technologist.
This course is designed to provide the entry level surgical technologist an opportunity to apply the surgical technology competencies acquired in the core courses to a surgical technology capstone in a specialty area of surgical practice. This project will represent a compilation of the student’s experience in the clinical setting, performing the duties of a scrubbed technologist and healthcare leader. Students will create an advanced surgical product exploring the interaction of all healthcare professionals involved in optimal patient outcomes through evidence-based practice.
SRG215. hours. This course is offered in an online format. Spring.
SRG 225Surgical Practicum4
This course is designed to provide individualized experience in the advanced surgical role including a focus on leadership practice. Emphasis is placed on developing and demonstrating proficiency in skills necessary for advanced practice in complex surgical specialties and leadership with a focus on evidence-based practice. Upon completion, students should be able to assume leadership roles in a chosen surgical specialty area.
This course provides employability skills and an overview of theoretical knowledge in preparation for certification. Emphasis is placed on certification strategies, professionalism, résumé preparation, and interviewing techniques.
