MCC Celebrates National Surgical Technologist Week

In 1984, the Association of Surgical Technologists designated the third week in September as National Surgical Technologist Week. The Association of Surgical Technologists ensures that surgical technologists have the knowledge and skills to administer patient care of the highest quality. MCC is proud to offer an accredited surgical technologist college program, and wishes all of our outstanding students a great Surgical Technologist Week!

According to the AST, Surgical Technologists are essential – not only in the operating room – but to your kids and families, to local nonprofits, churches and charities, to local businesses, to your neighborhoods, causes and communities, to friends and colleagues, to the profession and to the public.

MCC offers a 2-year Associate of Applied Science in Surgical Technology, which is the only CAAHEP Accredited AAS in Surgical Technology program in the city of Chicago.
