Overview
Want to work in the operating room? Surgical technologists — often called scrub techs — are healthcare professionals who assist surgeons, pass instruments, and maintain sterile environments during procedures. It's a hands-on healthcare career you can start in just 12 months at ASU-Newport.
Surgical Technology involves all areas of surgery requiring aseptic technique and surgical instrumentation.
