Surgical Technician Program
During an operation, surgical technologists pass the sterile instruments and supplies to surgeons and first assistants. They might hold retractors, hold internal organs in place during the procedure, or set up robotic surgical equipment. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, employment of surgical technicians is projected to grow 9 percent from 2020 to 2030.
