Preceptors and Clinical Site
Students really appreciate the preceptors at our local hospitals and surgery centers. A preceptor of the year is selected. All preceptors nominated receive a certificate and a letter of commendation addressed to them and their employer.
Students should be prepared each day to complete the case from start to finish. Each student is assigned a case preparation form. As you know, cases may be changed at the last minute. Students have reference books on site that they can use to review the material prior to the case. Students complete mock surgeries on site prior to doing any clinical assignments and should be prepared to function as an entry level surgical technologist on all minor and routine cases.
