Our Surgical Processing Technician program will prepare you with the knowledge and skills needed to receive and process supplies and equipment from operating rooms and nursing units throughout the hospital.  Since the Surgical Processing Department, also known as Central Service and Sterile Processing, provides vital support to all areas of patient care, and interacts with personnel from all areas of the hospital, the surgical processing department of a healthcare facility is the center of all activity involving supplies and equipment needed for surgery and other patient care areas.
