A Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) is a member of the surgical team in the operating room who works with the surgeon, anesthesiologist and certified registered nurse delivering direct patient care before, during and after surgery. Surgical technologists perform functions and tasks that provide a safe environment for surgical care and contribute to the efficiency of the operating team by supporting operating surgeons, nurses and others involved in operative procedures. Surgical technologists also work in other patient service settings that call for special knowledge about asepsis, the methods of making or keeping an environment antiseptic. The program is a cooperative effort between SMCC and Maine Medical Center (MMC) in Portland.
The first year of the program is a one- year, self- contained surgical technology program provided by MMC. First- semester classes are held on the SMCC campus, including basic sciences, care and safety of the patient, and principles of operating room technique. Second- semester classes are held at MMC, enabling the student to gain practical experience in the operating room, participating in clinical rotations to several ambulatory surgery sites to maximize the student. Graduates are prepared and eligible to sit for the National Certification Examination offered by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA).
Upon completion of the MMC surgical technology program, students can apply to the SMCC associate degree program for a second year of study. The associate degree enhances career opportunities through vertical mobility, practitioner levels refinement and maximized employment prospects. The MMC School of Surgical Technology is fully accredited by the American Medical Associations Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation.
