NCMC’s Associate Degree program is designed for continuing the education of the Surgical Technologists. Surgical Technologists, certified by the Liaison Council of Certification for the Surgical Technologists will receive advanced placement. Thirty (30) college credit hours will be awarded, for completion of requirements of the Surgical Technology program at Hillyard Technical School.
Surgical Technologists, also called scrubs and surgical or operating room technicians, perform a variety of job performances including but not limited to assisting in surgical operations under the supervision of surgeons, registered nurses, or other surgical personnel. Technologists get patients ready for surgery, transport patients to the operating room, help position them on the operating table, cover them with sterile surgical drapes, and are members of the operating room team.
