About
The Sterile Processing Technician (SPT) program provides students with the knowledge and skills required to work as an entry-level sterile processing technician. The primary responsibility of a sterile processing tech is to ensure that a clean and sterile healthcare environment is maintained at all times. This is primarily achieved through the process of decontaminating and sterilizing all surgical instrumentation and equipment. The SPT program is taught using a hybrid/blended learning environment. Students enrolled in this program will learn various sterilization techniques, including the proper method for decontaminating and sterilizing surgical instruments and equipment. They will also gain a solid understanding of microbiology and infection control. The training includes a combination of lecture and lab hours, as well as a 400-hour clinical internship.
