Surgical Technologist Schools

Surgical technologists are also called surgical technicians or operating room technicians. Surgical Technicians assist in preparing operating rooms for surgery. Surgical Technicians are responsible for having surgical instruments, sterile bandages and linens, needed fluids, and other equipment ready for the operation. Surgical Technicians also assist doctors by handing them needed instruments during surgery and for counting sponges and needles before and after the operation. Surgical Technicians deliver specimens to hospital laboratories for analysis, and after operations they take patients to the recovery room.
