Pellissippi State Community College’s Surgical Technology students learn in a setting that offers a glimpse of where their training could take them: a hospital. The college’s new dedicated labs at Blount Memorial Hospital house one of the newest Direct-to-Work programs in its Health Sciences department.
Students can complete the coursework in as little as four semesters. The program prepares them to work alongside surgical teams in hospitals and clinics, where surgical technologists help get the operating room ready and make sure the team has the instruments and supplies it needs during a procedure.
For students exploring a career in health care, the program offers a path into the operating room and a chance to learn about a role patients may never see.
