Surgical technologists are an integral part of the healthcare team, working under the supervision of a surgeon to facilitate the safe and effective conduct of surgical procedures. They ensure that the operating room is safe, that equipment functions properly and that the operative procedure is conducted under conditions that maximize patient safety.
Pima Medical Institute surgical technology students learn the use of physics and information technology in the surgical setting, and are trained to prepare surgical lasers and robotics for use during surgery, which will expand their employment options.
