In early February, 100 program directors, faculty and administrative professionals gathered in San Antonio for ARC/STSA’s Accreditation Fundamentals for Educators (AFE) Workshop. With a record-high attendance, there was ample opportunity for attendees to learn from each other, exchange ideas and network.
ARC/STSA would like to congratulate the following surgical technology and surgical assisting programs for receiving initial and continuing accreditation. Please join us in acknowledging the dedication and hard work it took for these programs to reach such important milestones.
Welcome to 2020 — not just a new year, a new decade! The ARC/STSA continues our commitment to education and programmatic accreditation in surgical technology and surgical assisting, community outreach and development of services. So much is underway as we enter the new decade, so I wanted to take a moment to share just a few highlights.
Hear from program directors across the country on how their students are spreading holiday cheer and embracing the spirit of giving back this time of year.
We caught up with ARC/STSA Board Member Kellie McFarlin, MD, FACS to learn about her thoughts on interprofessional education, as well as her experience with the ARC/STSA.
We recognize the incredible work of you and your students and are honored, once again, to announce the ARC/STSA 2020 Scholarship Program to support students and educators who continue to pursue their dreams.
At ARC/STSA, we understand the value of accreditation — as well as the stress it can cause. But at the end of the day, we want all programs to have the tools for success. What better way to achieve this than through a hands-on workshop with your peers?

For the last several years, the allied health program at Madisonville Community College (MCC) has hosted open houses for local high school students to learn of the many healthcare positions available to study. When asked which profession interests them, most high schoolers state nursing. As allied health faculty, however, we know nursing is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to professions available. We were in need of a better way to clearly and effectively communicate the diversity of such roles MCC offers.
ARC/STSA is pleased to announce newly elected officers of the Board of Directors. Get to know these individuals with more information below!
