ARC/STSA is celebrating 50 years of excellence in 2022! Throughout this year, we’ll be looking back at the last five decades — from our humble beginnings in December 1972 as the Accreditation Review Committee on Education in Surgical Technology (ARC-ST) to today, as we provide national accreditation services for more than 400 higher education programs in surgical technology and surgical assisting. And don’t miss our 50th celebration in San Antonio, Texas, on October 7, 2022, during our inaugural accreditation conference and expo, AccredX!
