Prepare for what’s next in surgical services

Explore answers to common questions about sterile processing, surgical technology, certification, career growth and what it’s like to support care in and around the operating room.

Sterile processing technicians work behind the scenes to clean, inspect, assemble and prepare the instruments and equipment used during procedures. Surgical technologists work in the operating room, preparing the surgical environment, maintaining the sterile field and supporting the surgical team throughout a procedure. Both are essential to safe, high-quality surgical care.

Some surgical services positions may offer opportunities for candidates who are not yet certified, while others require specific education, certification or experience. Requirements vary by position and location, so review each job posting carefully to understand what is needed and where you may be able to begin.

Surgical technologists help prepare the operating room, organize instruments and supplies and maintain the sterile field throughout a procedure. They work closely with surgeons, nurses and other members of the surgical team, anticipating needs and helping each procedure move safely and efficiently.

As you build experience, you may have opportunities to strengthen your technical skills, earn additional certifications and progress into advanced or lead positions. Our surgical services career pathway shows how experience and continued learning can help prepare you for what comes next.

Attention to detail, teamwork, communication and the ability to stay focused in a fast-moving environment are important across surgical services. Whether you're preparing instruments or working in the operating room, your ability to stay organized, anticipate needs and bring precision to your work helps support the entire surgical team.

Precision has a purpose

From preparing and sterilizing instruments to supporting the surgical team in the operating room, there are many ways to build your skills, grow your career and help make exceptional surgical care possible.
