SURG 1321 Surgical Technology Scrub Role

(5-2-0) 6 Credits UN

This course introduces the student to the practice of surgical technology regarding patient care in the surgical setting. The focus of this course is on skills that are specifically those of the first scrub role. It is designed to teach the principles and practice of the scrub role in an active hands-on manner, as well as in the traditional classroom setting. This course demonstrates how the principles are integrated with the practices at all times and allows the student to transfer information learned in the classroom into the skills needed in the operating room. The student will, by the end of this course, demonstrate mastery of a CLINICAL SKILLS PRACTICUM to test the students’ ability to scrub, gown, glove, and set-up and perform a routine procedure, and break down a room properly in the prescribed amount of time. The CLINICAL SKILLS PRACTICUM must be successful completed before the student scrubs any procedures at a clinical site.
