Surgical Tech School Tips

Surgical Tech Schools are popping up everywhere. 

Before you decide to choose a surgical tech school or program, get as much information as you possibly can.

If there is more than one surgical tech school/program in your area, get information from all of them and compare the details and facts of each school/program to ensure you are making the best choice for YOU.

Some important details to consider and questions to ask when researching a Surgical Tech School include:

  • Program Length - can be as short as several months to as long as 2 or more years.

  • Cost - Surgical Tech programs can cost as little as a few thousand dollars to as much as over thirty thousand dollars. (yes that's $30k)

  • Course schedule, days and hours of the week

  • Financing options - student or bank loans, "in-house"  financing, payment plans, etc.

  • What are the loan repayment terms?
