SRG 240 OPERATING ROOM SEMINAR (W-Odd years only) 3(3-0-0) This course serves two primary functions: it serves as a forum for discussion of and reflection upon issues that are being encountered by Surgical Technologist students in their clinical externships at area hospitals and provides a means of maintaining cohort identity as the externships drive students into different sites, procedures, and colleagues. The seminar also serves as both a capstone to the program and an introduction to the professional requirements of working as a Surgical Technologist after graduation. Students will participate in weekly seminar discussions, culminating in a final paper that summarizes their clinical externship experience.
