Program name:

SP-3000 Sterile Processing Technician

Program description:

The SP-3000 Sterile Processing Technician program prepares students to gain industry certification and ultimately to work in hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. A typical hospital uses and reuses thousands of medical instruments every month. Although some supplies are disposable, many are not. The reusable supplies come with their own special instructions for proper cleaning and maintenance. Because sterile processing tasks, by nature, typically involve hands-on-interaction, it is important for MedCerts to place increased focus on immersion and a high level of interactivity. Our students must feel as though they are part of the process, and that their physical actions are playing a vital role in their learning. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be eligible to sit for the provisional certification exam for Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) sponsored by the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA). Full certification is obtained after acquiring 400 hours of hands-on sterile processing experience within six months of provisional certification.
