SURG TC 213 — Clinical Experience II
In this course, students will apply the skills learned in the Surgical Technology curriculum under the direct supervision of preceptors at their assigned clinical site. In this hand-on training, students function in both nonsterile and sterile perioperative roles. Students may be assigned to sites where the sterile processing, labor and delivery, and/or endoscopy departments will be a part of their rotation. In this Clinical Experience course, together with Surg TC 212, students are expected to scrub a minimum of 120 cases. In this course, students are expected to take a more independent role during surgical procedures as the course progresses. Clinical sites are located within a 50-mile radius of the campus. Written assignments and case documentation appropriate to the discipline, are part of this course.
