Realities of clinical practice and concepts of death and dying will also be discussed.

 

COURSE GOALS: Given the course textbooks, personal notes, handouts, and other course materials, the student will accomplish each of the following course goals as evaluated by the course instructor:

 

1.         Identify and describe the terminology, facts, theories, and principles           associate with the surgical environment.

2.         Discuss job roles of surgical personnel and their responsibilities during        surgical procedures.

3.         Apply the knowledge of surgical personnel’s responsibilities to the Perioperative setting (pre-op, intra-op, and post-op).

5.         Identify the differences in levels of surgical procedure cases to include: Basic surgical intervention, Intermediate Surgical Intervention and Advanced Surgical Intervention.  

6.         Identify and define common terminology associated with    pharmacology and anesthesiology.

7.         Review pharmacological and anesthetic agents and their usage specific       to surgical procedures.

8.         Identify and define pathophysiology responses to disease processes of        specific organs and body systems.

9.         Identify, prepare, and demonstrate knowledge and utilization of selected surgical supplies, equipment, suture materials, and stapling            devices.

Grading Criteria

REQUIRED EXAMINATIONS:  This course will consist of lecture, power-point, videos, and demonstrations/return demonstrations, written and reading assignments and on-line instruction.  This course will consist of 6-7 major examinations, several quizzes and worksheets, laboratory assignments and quizzes, a major paper preparation, and a final examination. Each major examination will cover information presented since the previous exam (or the start of the course for the first exam) and will be announced in advance.  Every effort will be made by the instructor to give one-week notice for an upcoming exam.   Quizzes will test knowledge from the previous lectures and may or may not be announced. Quizzes will be given during class time.  Laboratory assignments and quizzes will be given on a weekly basis with testing performed during lab time.  The final examination will be comprehensive to evaluate knowledge-attained throughout the entire course. 

A minimum passing score of 75% must be attained on the final comprehensive examination to successfully complete the program.  A student may take the exam a maximum of 2 (two) times.  If a successful score is not reached after 2 times, remediation of course may be necessary.  The certification exam will be given one month prior to graduation. Exam results will be given upon completion of the surgical technology program.
