Director's Welcome

Dear Prospective Surgical Technology Students,

Thank you for your interest in the Ascension St. Vincent Surgical Technology Program!

Our program is committed to offering outstanding education and training in surgical technology. Because our program is sponsored by Ascension St. Vincent, our students receive instruction by program faculty who are employed by Ascension St. Vincent, which further allows us direct control of the program’s curriculum, clinical and classroom training.

Our goal is to serve as a model for hospital-based allied health education and training, and we are looking for individuals that are called to serve and learn in our hospital communities. Of course, our Surgical Technology Program is not easy.  The curriculum is rigorous, and our academic expectations are high. We are candid in telling prospective students that our program is challenging and labor-intensive. But the purpose of having high standards is to benefit our students, and ultimately our patients who put their trust in us every day in the operating room. If you are up to meeting this challenge, then we welcome your application for the next enrollment period!

Please let us know if you have any questions. We hope to hear from you soon!

Director

Carly Barkowski, BS, RN, CST
