In our last newsletter, we asked you to shine a spotlight on your graduates. Highlighted below are some stories we received, as told by the graduates themselves. These students have overcome fear, gone back to school for the first time in a decade and dealt with personal health issues – all while rising to the top. Their journeys are inspirational, and we are proud to welcome them into the profession.
On May 30, 2018, 70 surgical technology and surgical assisting educators gathered at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida, for the second and final Accreditation Fundamentals for Educators (AFE) Workshop of 2018.
This year, the ARC/STSA Board of Directors awarded $6,000 in scholarships to 10 students and one educator. Hear from recipients about their paths to success, what the scholarship means to them and their plans for future professional development.
Technology – particularly, robotics – is becoming an integral part of surgery. While practices in the operating room rapidly advance, there is concern that classrooms are not keeping up. Realistically, however, program directors cannot invest in expensive equipment – so how can students be better prepared?
