Date:

Angelina College’s Surgical Technology program will offer an information session from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 13 in Room 207 of the Health Careers I building on the AC campus.

Information sessions are a requirement for all applicants hoping for acceptance into the program. Students will receive packets and other information regarding all pre-requisites and other requirements for admission.

Surgical technologists are allied health professionals who are an integral part of the team of medical practitioners providing surgical care to patients. Surgical technologists work under the supervision of surgeons to facilitate the safe and effective conduct of surgical procedures.

The field is considered among the fastest-growing in the United States. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports that employment growth for “surgical technologists is projected to grow 9 percent from 2018 to 2028, faster than the average for all occupations.” For further information, contact Stefanie Vaughn at svaughn@angelina.edu.
