Patient positioning, instrumentation, and equipment and supplies necessary to complete a surgical procedure as well as the sequence of surgical procedures will be applied in the lab setting. Students will develop fundamental operating room skills; identify instruments and prepare necessary supplies for surgical case management. This course includes the basic knowledge of electricity, physics and robotics. Emphases will be placed on demonstrating the principles of aseptic techniques as applied to the role of the surgical technologist. The students will observe, practice and demonstrate skills.
