23 courses with the subject SURG, 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.
SURG 1002Orientation to Surgical Technology1
(s) Orientation to Surgical Technology is designed to introduce the student to the field, including the operating room setting, reporting relationships, education and experiential needs, minimum physical requirements, working conditions, unavoidable hazards and job performance standards. Information review for National Examination for Surgical Technologists will be presented.
(s) Surgical Terminology and Pharmacology is designed for public and allied health professionals who need to read and interpret health and medical reports, research reports and/or professional literature. Topics include an analysis of the authorization of medical terms related to various disorders with a focus on punctuation and spelling, basic word structure, abbreviations and symbols and the body and its systems. Additional focus will include the biomedical and pharmacological effects of therapeutic drugs on the human body, positive and negative reactions to drugs and interaction effects between and among drugs. Attention will be given to metric weight and measures, terminology, case and handling of drugs, classification of drugs and anesthesia.
(s) Surgical Technology and Patient Care I covers the duties of the surgical technologist; the surgical team members; hospitals and their backgrounds; hospital organization and management; physical aspects of the operating room; interdepartmental relations; communication and rapport; the development of surgery; and identifying ethical, moral and legal responsibilities. The course also introduces students to patient care concepts and practices and instructional components of electricity, physics, robotics and computer skills are reviewed.
SURG 1011Surgical Technology and Patient Care Laboratory I1
(s) Surgical Technology and Patient Care Laboratory I introduces students to surgical procedures, incisions, wound closure, operative pathology and common complications that arise in general and specialty surgery. Students gain preparation to work under medical supervision to facilitate the safe and effective conduct of invasive surgical procedures. Particular emphasis is on operating room furniture, instrumentation, supplies, equipment and establishing the sterile field.
(s) Surgical Technology and Patient Care II is a continuation of SURG 1010. Students continue the study of surgical team practice, patient-care concepts and practices.
SURG 1021Surgical Technology and Patient Care Laboratory II1
(s) Surgical Technology and Patient Care Laboratory II is a continuation of Surgical Technology and Patient Care Laboratory I. Students will continue studies in surgical procedures, incisions, wound healing, operating, pathology, and common applications.
(s) An introduction to principles, techniques and issues in the operating room environment. Topics include professional management and healthcare facility information. F. (NIT)
(s) An introduction to basic Pharmacology with emphasis on terminology, drugs and techniques used in the operating room, medication measurements and delivery, types and actions of medication, routes of administration, drug calculations and scenarios, and medications used in surgery. S. (NIT)
(s) An introduction to principles, techniques and issues in the operating room environment. Topics include surgical team practice, patient care concepts and practice with an emphasis on operating room furniture, instrumentation, equipment and supplies, establishment and maintenance of the sterile field, and skills necessary for preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative case management. F. (NIT) 3 hours lecture/4 hours laboratory
(s) Surgical Microbiology and Asepsis trains students in techniques for keeping the surgical environment free from disease-producing micro-organisms. Asepsis principles, surgical conscience, sanitation/disinfection/sterilization and monitoring techniques are explored.
(s) Surgical Procedures I focuses on anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic intervention, surgical intervention, postoperative patient care considerations, prognosis complications, and wound classification/management. Twelve surgical sub-specialties are reviewed.
(s) Surgical Procedures II is a continuation of SURG 2020 and focuses on anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic intervention, surgical intervention, postoperative patient care considerations, prognosis complications, and wound classification/management. Twelve surgical sub-specialties are reviewed.
(s) Clinical experience allows a student to affiliate with healthcare facilities under the joint supervision of the school and professional staff of affiliated clinical sites to provide practical clinical work experience in an operating room setting. F. (NIT) 10 hours clinical
(s) A continuation of Clinical Practicum I. Students will continue to affiliate with healthcare facilities to provide clinical work experience in an operating room setting. Pre/Corequisite(s): SURG 2103. F. (NIT) 1 hour lecture/10 hours clinical
SURG 2103. F. (NIT) 1 hour lecture/10 hours clinical
SURG 2299Special Topics2
2 hours credit(s) This course focuses on advanced topics in surgical technology and may be used to examine new technologies, policies, best practices, etc. as they evolve within the discipline. The course may also be used for independent study to meet exceptional needs of students or the workforce. This course will provide a student the opportunity to investigate and report on topic of special interest to that student or one that would benefit their employer or the community. S. (NIT)
(s) A continuation of Clinical Practicum II. Students will complete their affiliation with healthcare facilities to finish their clinical work experience requirement in an operating room setting.
(s) This course is a presentation of microbial techniques and concepts. Emphasis is placed on applying these concepts in the operating room environment. F. (NIT) 3 hours lecture
(s) An overview of the relevant anatomy, pathophysiology (including tumors, inflammation, infection, and fluid and hemodynamic disorders), surgically treatable diseases and disorders, preparations, diagnostic interventions, instrumentation, purpose, intervention, postoperative patient care considerations and expected outcome for surgical procedures covered in the course. F. (NIT) 3 hours lecture
(s) A continuation of Surgical Procedures I. Students will complete their study of the relevant anatomy, pathophysiology (including tumors, inflammation, infection, and fluid and hemodynamic disorders), surgically treatable diseases and disorders, preparations, diagnostic interventions, instrumentation, purpose, intervention, postoperative patient care considerations and expected outcome for surgical procedures covered in the course. S. (NIT) 3 hours lecture
(s) Surgical Technology and Patient Care II builds on content learned in SURG 1410. Students continue with more in depth study of surgical team practice, patient-care concepts and practices. Students continue studies in surgical procedures, incisions, wound healing, operating, pathology and common applications along with application of surgical patient care in the lab.
