Behind every successful surgery is a skilled surgical technologist who anticipates every move, protects the sterile field, and ensures the surgical team has exactly what they need—when they need it. 🏥💙

It takes knowledge, precision, teamwork, and dedication to stand at the operating table. Surgical technologists may work behind the scenes, but their impact is seen in every successful procedure and every life changed. 🩺✨

Proud to prepare the next generation of surgical professionals! 💪🧤🔬

🩺🦴 Learning beyond the classroom!

Our Southern Technical College Surgical Technology students had the incredible opportunity to visit the District 22 Medical Examiner's Office to further explore human anatomy and pathology. Experiences like this provide valuable insight that strengthens classroom learning and enhances the knowledge and critical thinking skills our future surgical technologists will bring into the operating room.

A special thank you to the District 22 Medical Examiner's Office for welcoming our students and sharing your expertise. Your commitment to education and healthcare is truly appreciated.

This educational experience was organized by Surgical Technology Instructor Kelsi Neal, whose dedication to providing meaningful learning opportunities continues to make a lasting impact on our students. 👏
