The Profession

Employment of surgical technologists is projected to increase 36% or more through the year 2008 as the population ages and the volume of surgery increases.

Because surgical technologists obtain a specialized education in surgery and aseptic technique, they require minimum orientation time.

Surgical technologists are experts in aseptic technique and are vigilant for any breaks in technique that can endanger surgical patients.

Surgical technologists can work in a variety of hospital departments and in the office of private surgeons.
