What do you want to see on this website ?

• Is there a surgical technology student club at your school?  What does the club do?
• Does your program do service projects?  Host parties or special events?  Send us a picture!
• Have you taken the certification exam and want to share your experience - or advice - with other students who haven't taken it yet?
• Do you want to know what other students have experienced during their clinical rotations?
• What was your experience during clinical rotations? What was it like to participate in an actual surgery?  Got any interesting stories to share?
• Want to hear from a recent graduate about his/her first day in the O.R.?
• Not sure how to write a resume?
• Is this a career change for you?  Why did you choose surgical technology?  How are you balancing all your other responsibilities while you're in school?
• Want to hear how other students are dealing with writing research papers and taking tests again?

Send us an idea, and we'll write about it.

Or, if you like to write, you can be the author.  Experience is definitely not required.

And remember -- getting published looks good on your resume!
