Surgical Technology is a fast growing career in the United States (Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS], 2009). This career path is not for everyone, there are many things to consider before students decide whether or not Surgical Technology is the career path for them. When considering becoming a Surgical Technician students should understand the education requirements, employment opportunities and the duties.

When studying to become a Surgical Technician many students attend vocational schools, however some attend junior colleges, universities, and even the military (BLS, 2009). These programs can last anywhere from 9 to 24 months in which a student can earn a certificate, diploma, or associate degree (BLS, 2009). There are many classes, majority science classes, which are recommended to study while in high school to be better prepared for this career choice. However, the question is why is further education imperative when deciding to become a ST? The answer, “Most employers prefer to hire certified technologists” as stated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

After all the education courses are completed the next step is employment. Fortunately for students the number of jobs available for STs is expected to increase more than average over the next few years (BLS, 2009). As of 2006, there has been more than 86, 000 jobs reported in this field (BLS, 2009). Most jobs for STs are located in hospitals, however they are also found in private doctor’s offices (BLS, 2009).

What exactly is a ST doing in these hospitals or doctor offices? What is the average day at their job? These are the questions students should think of when leaning toward ST as a career choice. As Ganeane E. Lewis says, “No two cases are exactly alike; no surgeon does everything exactly the way another surgeon does”, she goes further to say, “my job requires that I think critically.” While Parks says, “it’s a nice career in and of itself, or it can be a way to earn a living while going up the career ladder.” These statements may tell us a little about the job but further information shows that STs are the ones who set up the surgery room before surgery, they prepare the patients, are responsible for tools throughout the surgery, and are the ones who clean the surgery room up once the surgery is completed (BLS, 2009).

As stated once, this career choice is not for everyone. STs have a lot of responsibility and are responsible for the lives and the safety of their patients(BLS, 2009). This career has many benefits, many pros and many cons as a student you just have to figure out which weighs more. Once that is determined go for the goal.
