MCC Surgical Tech Graduates Excel in April Exams

June 3, 2025

Midwestern Career College’s Surgical Technology program continues its strong performance, with the April 2025 cohort achieving a 91% certification pass rate—affirming MCC’s role as a top choice for surgical technologist training in Chicago.

Midwestern Career College is proud to highlight the outstanding success of our April 2025 Surgical Technology graduates, who achieved a 91% pass rate on the NBSTSA national certification exam. Out of 22 students who sat for the exam, 20 passed on their first attempt—a clear indicator of their dedication and the program’s academic strength.

This achievement reflects the focused effort of our students and the unwavering support of our experienced Surgical Technology faculty. At MCC, certification success is not left to chance—it’s the result of hands-on training, expert-led instruction, and a deeply supportive learning environment.

“This is a strong outcome for our April cohort, and it shows what’s possible when students stay focused and our faculty stay fully engaged,” said Brittany Burgess, Program Director for Surgical Technology at MCC. “We’re proud of every student and grateful to the entire Surg Tech team for making this success possible.”

One student was unable to take the exam due to the passing of his father and a necessary trip to Africa. MCC remains committed to supporting him through the process and looks forward to adding his certification success to this record.

This pass rate milestone follows on the heels of a major program update in May 2025: continued accreditation through 2035 from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).

Together, these wins showcase the quality and consistency of MCC’s approach to surgical technology training and certification support.
