Surgical Technology, Missoula College, A.A.S.Description of ProgramMontana Tech Highlands College is proud to partner with The University of Montana-Missoula College to offer their Associate of Applied Science Degree in Surgical Technology entirely on the Butte campus. This learning consortium agreement is available to assist the students who cannot relocate and to help meet the needs of the health care industry. Students begin their studies with the educational health core at Highlands College. All students must make admission to Missoula College and will be formally selected into their program. They continue their studies on the Butte campus through a combination of web delivery course work and hospital clinical work. Surgical technologists work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and registered nurses in delivering patient care preoperatively, inoperatively, and postoperatively. ObjectivesStudents are able to live in Butte while earning this degree from Missoula College. As Highlands College students taking educational health core courses, preparation begins toward the acceptance into the Surgical Technology program. A broad base of general education courses, as well as specific health related courses set the foundation for students. An on-site advisor assists students with the transition into the surgical courses with Missoula College. OutcomesStudents will be prepared to apply for acceptance into Missoula College’s Surgical Technology program. Those who gain admission will remain in Butte for the clinical portion of their studies. AssessmentThe Health Programs Department believes that preparing students to enter the workforce is the ultimate academic goal. The educational health core students that ultimately enter the Missoula College Surgical Technology Program have the same educational opportunities and clinical experiences that their counterparts in Missoula experience. We continuously work with the faculty and staff at Missoula College to make necessary changes to enhance the education for the students seeking surgical technology. Surgical Technologists work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and registered nurses in delivering patient care preoperatively, intra-operatively, and postoperatively. They function as a scrub technologist, the sterile member of the surgical team who passes instruments, sutures, and sponges during surgery. How do I apply for the Surgical Technology Program?Formal application process will be accomplished in the Fall semester by November 1st for Spring Entry. Students intending to become a surgical technologist apply to the program through a formal admissions process at the Missoula College campus. Admission to Missoula College and to Highlands College does not guarantee acceptance into the Surgical Technology Program. For Further Information Contact
