Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 29 TSC 709 worked example, 60 to 90 seconds
What This Course Is and Is Not
The idea
This course is an independent study course in surgical asepsis, instrumentation and operating room safety, built from open and public sources.
In practice
Learn what the course is, and what it is not. First, it is independent: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any certifying organization. Second, it teaches the published standards found in its sources, and it tells you where they come from. Third, it is not a substitute for supervised clinical training, and completing it does not qualify anyone to work as a surgical technologist or to sit for any examination. Fourth, its final assessment is a readiness check on this course's own scale; it does not predict a score or a pass on any certification exam. Fifth, it defers to the policies of the facility where you work.
Where people slip
The course is meant to help you understand the work. It cannot give you the hands-on skill that only practice under supervision builds.
