Midwest Institute Earth City, Missouri

The Surgical Technology program at Midwest Institute is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel as vital members of the surgical team. This comprehensive program blends classroom instruction with hands-on laboratory simulations and extensive clinical experiences. Students learn about surgical procedures, instrumentation, sterilization techniques, anatomy and physiology, and patient safety protocols. They gain proficiency in preparing the operating room, assisting surgeons during procedures, and maintaining a sterile environment. A significant portion of the program is dedicated to clinical rotations, allowing students to apply their learning in real-world surgical settings at affiliated hospitals and surgical centers. The program typically lasts around two years, culminating in an Associate of Applied Science degree or a diploma. Upon graduation, students are prepared to pursue certification as a Surgical Technologist (CST) and embark on careers in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities, assisting surgeons and providing crucial support during surgical procedures.
