I’m taking online and in person classes and I love it so far!

I was so so happy to see you post! I had been watching your videos for a while now and I finally managed through my generals and got into the Surg Tech program! I'm learning so much and enjoying all of it! I wanted you to know your videos are such a great resource!❤

When I was in high school I was interested being a surgical tech and I’m enrolled in Concorde’s surgical tech program and they have online for prerequisites and it’s so great thank you for getting me interested in this field

Nothing better then that live & direct hands on experience in the O.R.

This is a great news for me! I went to college in Colombia for Surgical Assistant Training. When I came to the US I realized that i had to go to school again which was unfair because I got my degree and i had 10 year of experience in the field. But now I have a hop bc i really did not want to study again from the beginning. Thank you for sharing this information.

I love seeing you again after a long time. Thank you for being an inspiration and a good teacher.

So helpful, thank you!

I remember watching your first “how to become a surgical technologist video” and all your other videos before deciding to go to school for it, a few month later I’ve taken my pre-reqs and have been accepted into a program! I start clinical in 2 months. I missed your videos, glad to see you’re back!

Thank you for your honest opinion.

Great video thank you!!! Hoping to become a surg tech one day!

Thank you for sharing. Ive been looking into surgical tech. The college in hawaii ( Kapi'olani Community College) dont offer certification for surgical tech anymore..They're short on instructors. Glad I ran into your video.

The route I took almost 25 years ago was through a navy school. I spent alot of time as a bullet sponge on security while standing watch when on deployment with the marines.when I got out I had to relearn to be a surgical tech....

Here in the uk you just study a 3 year operating department practice course. Alternatively you can just do your degree in nursing then theatrd nursing is on the job training with 6 months anaesthetic training. Also you can do a degree as a surgical care practitioner after your degree. You dont have to do a nurse degree to become a surgical tech. The hospitals here in the uk are know employing you are a care assistant then after 1-2 years you are allowed to apply for a degree as an apprentice the hospital pays in full. Here in uk you also have to specify which speciality you would like to take child, adult, mental health, maternity. Adult is the most popular route.

Can you list accredited states? What programming is used most in robot assist surgery? Can you tell me what company works on these machines? Ty

Thank you

More interviews with some surgeons would be awesome to see on this channel

This is a good resource for hospitals who want to train their own techs and need an online didactic portion of the training. I think the biggest obstacle is showing up to do ones clinicals (as you mentioned) and not having ever set foot in a hospital , let alone an OR environment before. I frequently precept Surgical tech students as a scrub RN here, and when they come to my specialty service line they already know how to glove, gown, drape , set up a basic back table and mayo independently so I only have to teach them the specifics of the speciality (neuro) . I think it would be VERY hard for preceptors to find time during a busy list to teach and demonstrate all the basic principles when they are expected to keep the case moving and lists getting done unless taken out of the count and using a room which is not in use and dedicating time to teach all of this to the new student. This concept really puts the onus on the hospital staff (CSTs and RN preceptors) to ensure the success of the student and most would be unlikely to want to invest the time etc when the student was not being brought on as an employee.

I am looking forward to Lord willing taking this program. I have been looking into this program on and off for about 10 years.

Has anyone done the preppy program? I’m looking into it but would like some feedback I’ve heard mixed reviews on it, I’m currently an SPD tech at a surgery center but was looking into surgical tech! Thank you in advance
